I had Thanksgiving with my brother...who is an engineer with a fair-sized company. The CEO had spoke to the employees back in the summer over Obama Care. Few folks really grasped the operation that the company had running. The company merely hired a health insurance company to be the middle man, and lead employees to cheaper doctors and hospitals, then took the bill from the doctor or clinic or hospital...and gave it to the company to pay. The company paid out of it’s own pocket....for all the expenses.
What they found out thirty years ago...was that most employees barely used a couple thousand or less a year on health expenses. The rest? They ran up bills of $5k to $100k, depending on circumstances. Some years were better than other years. In the end, the company always did better this way than paying $750 a month to some health insurance company to help each employee.
The CEO said...with Obama Care and its rules....this method will be halted. The company had already decided to pay the $1k fee to the gov’t....and just dump employees off to find their own way of handling health care. Everyone walked out and was pretty peeved over this...even the normal Democrat voters. No matter how you swing it....you end up paying a huge amount more....than what you were paying before.
Yes ObamaCare is just legislation designed to destroy private medicine and private health insurance so that we slide into a PolitiCare system. He learned from Hillary’s mistake of trying to throw the frog directly into boiling water.
