What are your thoughts?

Companies will start to make adjustments to staff to insure that they are at the minimums of these new regulations and taxes.

Some companies will find early on that the fines will be much less than the premiums they are paying and will make changes to their benefit packages.

We only need 51 votes in the Senate. It’s a tax so it can be repealed through Reconciliation process. Same way Dingy Harry got around a GOP filibuster, and rammed it through the Senate in 2010.

[fortheDeclaration]

If Obamacare isn’t repealed I expect the GOP to disappear the teaparty to take it’s place.

[bergmeid]

I’ll tell you what is next. Higher utility bills and more expensive taxpayer provided trips by that b*tch in the White House.

Sorry, I am in a very foul mood this morning.

If that happens, I expect very possibly to move to Idaho where Obamacare has been nullified (or maybe Texas if they do the same).

[angcat]

I'm devastated. My company can cancel the health insurance and opt out to pay a fine which would be cheaper. Then I would have to get Government health insurance. Lose my Dr's and be on a waiting list for care. Just like the Canadians.

[InvisibleChurch]

better start taking better care of your health

[Puppage]

so it can be repealed through Reconciliation process

After Scott Brown was elected, the Rats couldn't pass this bill so they changed the rules and passed this horror show through that very same process.

Oh, the irony

[Puppage]

If that happens, I expect very possibly to move to Idaho where Obamacare has been nullified

When was an entire state given a waiver? I haven't heard that.

Traveling to different countries to chose a new country to live

At 18% of GDP? A current debt already exceeding GDP?

Another 1,000 yrs of darkness.

We’re already infested with Community Clinics infested with list checking morons.

[bergmeid]

I guess there’s somewhat of a silver lining. DemoRATS will suffer too. They will have family members dying as well as a result of waiting times. So between that and them aborting their kids, we will eventually get rid of them.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Different Countries?

Such as?

What makes you think it’s not Worse in other countries?

Read some of their Constitutions.

Ireland’s protections for Citizens essentially say they have Rights until some faceless Bureau Weasel says they don’t.

"NO, NO, NO! That's the wrong form! You filled out the canary form - the admissions form is the SALMON form! NEXT!"

[silverleaf]

First of all it’s absolutely ESSENTIAL to the democrats that the “Bush Tax Cuts” expire AND that obama get an increased borrowing line by increasing the debt ceiling this fall - AGAIN

They will shut down the government (threaten social security. MEDICARE add military pay) before the election and make it look like the GOP’s fault, to force the GOP to go along

They’ve already programmed the increased revenues to get obamacare up and running, though it won’t be nearly enough because their projections of increasing govt revenue from economic growth are/were wildly off base (a BIG LIE actually)

[Cowboy Bob]

Under this law, if you don't have insurance, you pay a penalty (tax).

It is my understanding that many of the people without insurance are Illegals. Are Illegals now required, under law, to have insurance? And if they don't have insurance, will they be penalized - or would that be considered discrimination?

[Kirkwood]

We are becoming Europe. Look at their medical system (limited socialized care) and that is what we are getting.

Also, the more congress and govt in general gets involved in something, the more it costs and the more fouled up it gets. There will be ZERO cost savings from this. The cost of medicine will continue to go up. The only way to bring down the cost of medicine is to have tort reform, which won’t happen until we first have term limits in congress.

I think one step you left out was the disappearance of private medical insurance. Insurance companies looking at the law's restrictions on profits, internal expenses and marketing will decide that they can make money on life, car and house insurance so they really don't need a money loser like the medical business. Even if a business wants to buy insurance for their employees, there won't be anyone left to sell it to them other than the government.
