CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCare

[IBD editorial writer]

Health Reform: The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger.

[Darksheare]

I know, quite the irony to it.

[tuffydoodle]

My copay for an er visit went from $100 to $400 this year.

[Amagi]

For God's sake, kill this bill and DON'T replace!!!
How much more destruction of business, employment, lives, and healthcare are We The People going to endure with this disastrous evil commie boondoggle?
Enough with the lies already. Period.

[Flick Lives]

You know the answer. It will be covered by the MSM with all the intensity with which they reported the fall of Yemen. So no; it does not exist as a news story.

Like I keep saying, it is just DIFFERENT people who are now uninsured.

[AppyPappy]

I guess the only solution is “free government health care”.

[Beagle8U]

“THE CBO’s leaders should be INDICTED.”

The CBO has to score a bill/proposal based only on the figures Congress gives them. Pelosi/Gruber/O’bastard gave them the figures.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Seems like an awfully conservative estimate to me.

CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCare

Are we ready to start running pols out of Washington on rails yet?

[CPT Clay]

Obamacare; passed without a single republican vote.

[Dahoser]

Or, now that there is a Republican Congress, it’s their fault.

[Gritty]

Don't worry, you 10 million folks. You can buy a nice Obamacare Plan to replace the coverage you have.

Of course, since you have a real job, you will pay though the nose the equivalent of another very hefty house payment and in return will get a limited doctor network with your nearest hospital 30 miles away, huge co-pays, and $5-10 thousand dollar deductibles for everybody on your policy. In other words, you are screwed if you get seriously sick.

But that's OK. Your sacrifice is making health care "free" for millions of grifters who deserve it plus it pays the salaries of millions of more bureaucrats to administer it.

What else could be more fair? After all, you have been getting away with being rich all your life and now it is time to share a little with the less fortunate!

[madprof98]

Trouble is, none of this matters. Not to Democrats, for sure. And not really to Republicans either. The country is not just broken; it is unfixable.

“If you like your plan, you can keep your plan”

I’d really like to take out my frustration on an Obozo supporter...

[MrB]

Yeah, I totally think that was the goal of Obamacare.

To uninsure the insured.

And I think it’s racially motivated.

Obama 2015: “ If you like your death panel, you can KEEP your death panel “

” If you like your death certificate, you can KEEP your death certificate. “

You were expecting something different from the ‘remove and REPLACE’ gang??

I haven’t word one from the ‘Remove, give same tax breaks and let free market handle’ peeps (in fact, I can’t recall a single name of said peeps).

[skeeter]

10 million is only a start.
