In a stunning revelation Wednesday, several top U.S. corporations are seriously considering dropping employee health insurance coverage in light of what they see as the inevitable consequence of ObamaCare--skyrocketing costs.
The companies state that after their legal experts poured over the thousands of pages in the new law, it will cost them less to pay the fines for not providing healthcare coverage for employees than continuing to provide employer-paid health insurance benefits.
As a side-note to the announcement, the companies maintain that ObamaCare will result in a dramatic increase in expenses for providing employee coverage, with added costs skyrocketing to multi-billions of dollars.

Well, people with jobs like that are the “rich, elite, greedy” people the left hates anyway, so they’ll see this as a big win.
Well of course. That was the whole point to begin with. That way, people will start screaming for government-provided insurance or a subsidised state-run system like the NHS in the UK.
Better!
Obamacare should be encouraging voters to DROP OBAMA!
except when they ALL do it at once.
We all expected this, but I’m surprised he’s so overt about it.
Ditto to what you didn’t say.
Clean out the sewer that is this Congress and repeal this national disgrace before it destroys us.
This is good. Millions dropped from company health care means millions less voting for Democrats, and we can repeal Obamacare sooner.
This is good. I hope they really drop all of these people. Their short-term suffering will be a long term blessing.
Everyone I know is getting letters that their health insurance is going up.
Just talked to a friend today who got a huge price hike. My whole family got letters of about a 25% hike, one of whom only had the insurance three months.
Pls lets not forget the mouth piece...the MSM who was more than happy to propagate the administrations lies.
[ but I’m surprised he’s so overt about it.]
I’m not anymore. Anger, hate and lies rule. I expect to see fisticuffs in Congress before long. We’ve seen it in more ‘uncouth’ countries and now we’ve become uncouth too.
