Like the other stories, this will be revised and quashed by dinner time..

and it just keeps getting better and better

Obamacare and gay marriage.

And companies refuse to hire or massively cut back.

The unintended consequences of a “progressive” government.

And they will never blame themselves why their economies don’t work. They will just blame evil corporations.

Teamsters: “Wait! What?”

Yet their direct competitor, FedEx, has not found it necessary to invoke such “austerity measures” for its management.

The difference? UPS is a union shop.

The health law requires large employers to cover employees and dependent children, but not spouses or domestic partners, Kaiser adds.

Wow, a bit of an oversight, no?

Have you thought,"Why would the ones who espoused obamacare as the best thing since sliced bread, are the ones that are now saying how bad it will be?" That they did not realize how bad it was? Not the answer. They were informed over and over again by not just one but many of what it would lead to, do, and its long term effects. Those who tried to warn were ridiculed and ignored.

The answer is Obamacare was designed to do three things: Bankrupt private insurance companies and the medical profession. 2. Fail. 3. Pave the way for a single payer system, a/k/a socialized medicine.

Now that the Supreme Court has declared it Constitutional it will accomplish goal one and in accomplishing goal one fail, thus accomplishing goal two.

What is happening now is laying the groundwork for goal three; the design and implementation of a single payer system. Bullshit, you say, it is preposterous to consider obamacare a failure and it is too early to even think of a single payer system. Recall how many years it took the Democrats to get obamacare passed? The Democrats heed the lessons learned from their mistakes. The Republicans don't.

I think that the drivers are Teamsters, so they are just getting what they endorsed.....

This has been the plan all along: Make private insurance unaffordable then make government insurance the only plan available then allowed.

[Grampa Dave]

They are behind about 2 decades.

The company I worked for an many others, started refusing to pay medical costs if the spouse was covered until the spouses’s costs exceed their company’s limits.

So if your spouse had a health insurance policy covered by another company, our insurance became a secondary insurance.

When the group of doctors, who were my wife’s employers started to pay for health insurance, she negotiated an great one time raise in lieu of going on their plan. It worked well for her employees and her.

[Jim Robinson]

Epic fail.

[unixfox]

As planned.

[Tzimisce]

Ha.

Suck on that labor unions. :)

United Parcel Service Inc. plans to remove thousands of spouses from its medical plan because they are eligible for coverage elsewhere.

DUH!

Who AIN'T???
