YOu got off light.
Our CEO has already let all of us know that as soon as this kicks in the company is cancelling our insurance completely.
Right now the company I work for provides full family coverage for every employee for free. This is at a cost of $1900 per employee per month. Our owner does this because he wants to, even though the bean counters and auditers tell him it is assinine.
This is not a standard coverage either, it is the top package BC/BS offers. There is no deductible, and all services are covered 100%. All we are responsible for is a $10 co-pay.
Obviously this is what Obama and his band of Thugs refer to as a “Cadillac” policy, and yes I realize how truly blessed I am to work for this firm.
Now, here is the bottom line, our Ceo pointed out that the new taxes and fees imposed by ObamaCare will render our company as unprofitable — so he has a clear choice:
1. Continue to provide insurance at a cost of 1900 a month per employee and go bankrupt
2. Pay a fine of up to $3000 PER YEAR and cancel all health coverage.
Also, just to be clear to everyone, the insurance we get is not at the cost of our income. The average income of my company is among the top 10% in our industry. So we are well paid, and well insured — our CEO does this because his employees reward him with work that befits the treatment he gives us. We work our asses off and have made our company the go to choice in our respective field.
