tanknetter:".. It’ll go critical in October, when companies either put out their 2015 health benefits packages,
or reveal that they’re dropping coverage completely and dumping people out onto the exchanges to fend for themselves."

The Problem is that notification of 'dropped coverage' wont be recieved until after the election
and was designed to be that way by bi-paratisan agreement with both Dem and GOPe !
That is exactly the problem with the way this delay was agreed to ... by Boner .

I don't know about you, but everywhere I've worked I've rec'd my next year's benefit plan options by the end of September with open enrollment closing at some point in October and November.

I don't see my employer going to the trouble to work up plans and options in some sort of Potemkin march where they suddenly announce after the election that they've really decided to drop health care coverage altogether.

Of course, that IS where the Libs are going with the ideas being floated about moving open season to align with tax season ...

The debate is far from over on Obamacare, no matter what the President declares from the White House, although it’s easy to understand why Obama wishes that were true. His signature initiative will be a huge “stinkburger” to the 170 million Americans dependent on employer-sponsored insurance. The businesses that provide this benefit and their employees will have to deal with the “meanwich” Obamacare delivers in higher costs when its mandate forces those employers to react – just weeks ahead of the midterms.

I got my letter a few weeks ago. I'll find out the details come July/August. Democrats and MSM have known exactly what is going to happen to us peasants. They have known since June 17, 2010.

Fed Register/Vol. 75, No. 116/Thu, June 17, 2010/ 34553 (10s of millions will lose empl insurance)

Open enrollment here has always just been November, with little or no notification of program modifications until January.

So you enroll in a program in November without finding out what you're enrolling in until January?
