Days ago it was McDonalds warning it might stop offering health insurance to some 30,000 employees due to the cost prohibitive regulations in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). Now 3M Company will soon stop offering its health insurance plan to their 23,000 retirees in response to Obamacare's passage.

The Democrats might not be as stupid as many here say. Perhaps they understand that if weak-minded people get angry enough at the insurance industry they will allow the Democrats to do a full take-over. They already made it pretty far.

I don’t believe the anger will be aimed at insurance companies and if it is, it’ll be by Obamabots.
Agreed. Many people hate their health insurers because they do not provide "free" health care. 0bamacare would have never even gotten off the ground if so many people didn't think that health care should be "free."
In the articles on liberal websites where insurers' dropping of children's health policies is discussed, 0bamacare is never blamed, rather, it is still the "evil" "greedy" insurer's fault. Many of these people support full nationalization of this sector.
Leftists have the mental capacity of a particularly deranged prepubescent child. They never think about where this “free” health care is going to come from. They don’t think PERIOD! It’s as though they expect that doctors, other medical personnel, scientists, and biotech engineers will volunteer all their time to help these spoiled ungrateful brats.
3M.....Minnesota, Mining and Manufacturing....Ha! What’s left?
