That's not clear to me at all. There is the provision in the bill for all businesses to issue Forms 1099 for all business purchases of goods and services (over $600 per year) paid to individuals, partnerships and corporations. That has nothing to do with health care or insurance. It's going to be a huge burden on businesses of all sizes, more on the gathering the data and issuing the forms, but receiving them too.
The up-side to this? I get to bill my client for preparing the 1099 he has to issue to me.
I'll eventually grow fond of the Accountants and Attorneys Full Employment Act of 2010.
I already have raised fees on payroll for the HIRE act provisions.
