So, if any CEO had guts, he could simply say that the economic analysis that had allowed his company to run at a profit for decades, tells him that the Heath Care disaster will cost him millions and they are adjusting accordingly.

He might also add that anyone who truly believes otherwise is an ass.

These companies HAVE to report this stuff.

Their healthcare costs went from getting a tax credit to an up to 40% tax!

Don’t think thats a BIG HIT?

Okay. I have a question.

I've always been opposed to Medicare. (And I'm close to being "covered.") I assume most people here are opposed too.

Two questions really.

Why is it bad that the Federal Government will no longer effectively subsidize corporate medical plans for retirees? I don't want to subsidize anyone's medical plan.

And why is it bad if the Federal Government reduces the amount of money it spends for Medicare? I suppose one could argue that it is money that is just being spent somewhere else, and that somewhere else is worse than Medicare, but that seems like a bad argument to me. When Mark Levin rails about how seniors are going to be screwed by Obamacare, it seems to me that if Medicare were phased out somehow that this would "screw" seniors too. But isn't some sort of phasing out what needs to happen?

I hope that some of these CEO’s have the courage to tell the Senate to POUND SAND!

“Senator, we’re going to spend another $100 MILLION to unseat every one of you communist bastards!”

This is what real Fascism looks like...we MUST defeat them and rip apart their infrastructure (unions, education, legal, etc.).

Looks like this is more of Obama’s pack of lies. More promises of transparency and openness from the huckster in chief. LOL

…Henry Waxman and House Democrats announced yesterday that they will haul these companies in for an April 21 hearing because their judgment “appears to conflict with independent analyses, which show that the new law will expand coverage and bring down costs.”

And I thought it was business in a free system that provided.

I was wrong, it's GOVERNMENT that provides for us in a free enterprise nation and business that hinders GOVERNMENT.

You go get 'em black hole nostrils!

The radicals in Congress were not pleased that these corporations would go public with this devastating information.

It would be so much more entertaining for the liberals to watch a parade of shareholder class action lawsuits.

Independent analysts? Is Congress to lazy or stupid to do their own math?

It would be justice for the CEO's to show up and call the Congressional idiots, IDIOTS if they thought government ANYTHING is cheaper than the private sector.

GEESH!

[dr_who]

“leak”? Anyone ever heard of the first amendment?

[freekitty]

Come on corporations. Get up and show your brass.

[CriticalJ]

Let them.

If handled correct, it would expose more of the corruption than it would help their cause.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Bring on the popcorn!

[dr_who]

What can congress (or individual jackasses like Waxman) do with subpoenas, anyway?

[Williams]

These companies did nothing to oppose the legislation, they have a legal obligation to report these effects to their shareholders.

But hey let’s turn the whole country upside down to support the communist revolution.

Also heard that ATT in the San Diego area is going to cut 5,000 jobs.

[R0CK3T]

Bring it losers.

Then after November, we can have OUR show trials of all of the MSM Exec’s and how they have been institutionally lying to America so they can enable their Marxist takeover of the country!

These chairmen have entirely too much power.
