A2: Business

Inc. magazine published a column by Mark Hodesh, owner of Downtown Home & Garden, who describes why he supports the federal Affordable Care Act: ”I’m very interested in offering health care – in part because it’s the right thing to do, but that’s not really my motive. Really, it’s just pragmatic. We’re a small downtown store, and we compete with the national chains. You know, the ones with the huge parking lots. Well, we have six parking spaces. We remain competitive by offering an attractive benefits package. And a big part of that benefits package is health care.” [Source]
