This article is one of the reasons Fox isn’t worth watching anymore!
Fox should be embarrassed that they have someone so stupid working for them. It makes “Fair and Balanced” become “Dumb and Dumber”.
“Many of the nation’s top insurance companies, brokers and major employers have moved beyond the bitter debate in Washington”
Let’s examine the reasons behind that statement: Assuming insurance companies don’t go away, they each expect their business to go up, not down, as the government pours in the subsidies AND the eek out increases from those who “can pay” higher premiums for less coverage. Insurance companies win. Moving along, “major employers”, yeah sure, when they move everyone off the health insurance provided by the employer rolls, their costs go DOWN. Even if they provide a subsidy they are better off just from the standpoint of not having to keep benefit coordinators on the rolls AND when they move hours of employees down below 30, no subsidy is needed PLUS they just expect the same amount of worker output...win win for them. Lastly the government benefits in a few ways: the less employer provided health insurance benefits, the higher the employees taxable income plus fines if they don’t get their own insurance. Another win win. The biggest losers here are the nations small businesses who get it in the neck but I guess they are the 3% the MIT jackass believes will be those hurt.
