This is just the beginning, small companies are just dropping insurance. When the Obamacare costs started to hit, his premiums went up and up and then dental dropped- not good for his family.

So when the working Left see their costs go up, coverage decrease all in the name of taking care of free loaders and illegals, the fur should really start to fly.

and the Care part of Obamacare hasn't even started

That is going to be a huge problem for the money side of the ACA. ACA is based on the premise of helping a finite number of people. The problem is funding. Funding for ACA is based upon taxing the rich, taxing everybody, penalties to employers and employees for not providing insurance/not buying insurance.

When employers start shedding employees the only portions of the revenue side that go up are penalties on employers ($2500/yr) and the penalties on the employees that don't get insurance. The tax revenue on the "rich" and everybody else doesn't get any bigger and the program falls out of balance.

Based upon the numbers this dummy mentioned and the original projections for ACA subsidies, his family would be better off if the school district his wife works for dumped them and paid them the difference between their current costs to insure her and the penalty. Their subsidized insurance under Obamacare would then be pegged against their income and they would end up paying about $450 a month. I am guessing a majority of that would come from the pay increase the school district could give the wife with a zero net difference in outlay. Tax targets of ACA and deficit spending would pay the rest.
