Ezekiel Emanuel is one of the authors of Obamacare, and he is saying that it will cause most employers to stop offering insurance to their employees.

Yes, of course. The left HATES the fact that some people have great policies from their employer, and that other people have lousy policies or none.
Their goal is complete takeover. To get there, they will tax the hell out of employer-paid policies until they destroy them.

The goal of OsamabamaCare was,from the very beginning,to drive private health insurers...and HMOs...out of business.Once accomplished the rest is easy peasey.

I’d think it was also helpful to actuaries. Someone who can work is probably not going to be a basket case. (Of course there’s families of those who can work.)

It may come to that. I pay 100% of my employees health premium. One of the older guys costs me $1000 a month just for him; not including his family.

A friend of mine on facebook posted this little story today:
I am sitting in the doctors office with Chickie (Wayne’s mom). Don’t even get me started about managed healthcare for the elderly. Medicare is taking away her home oxygen because she doesn’t fall low enough at night-81% is low but it needs to be for at least 5 minutes at a time- I believe the average needs to be less than 88% for the majority of the sleeping hours-are you kidding me!?!? She can’t walk across a room without sitting down and doing her breathing exercises to cat...ch her breath. Her doctor says she needs it, she knows she needs it, her family knows that it contributes positively to her quality of life and her health! But our government health care system knows more than we do! So disgusted and frustrated. Trying to find out what it would cost her per month to rent the oxygenator without utilizing Medicare. I have a feeling I’m not going to like the answer.

Most expressed a strong desire to get out of the health insurance business. I have provided health insurance for 30 years and am dropping it in 60 days, wrote J of New York. To his employees, he continued, health care costs are an abstraction, and my contributions to it are not clearly recognized. Now they will be.Depends on what sort of qualifications one wants to attract and what the supply is of those workers.
There is still private health insurance in the other developed countries that have more socialized health care systems -- UK and Germany come to immediate mind. But I doubt much health insurance is going to be offered to attract low skilled workers.
