But if they like their plan, they get to keep it, right? Obama promised.
This is the slippery slope toward Single-payer.
Who could of seen this coming!
....
Oh yeah! Republicans have been saying during the entire debate this is what would happen.
Democrats are the stupidest people on earth, I guess there is a good reason they usually live in the projects.
Or these companies will move off shore and not pay anything. So much for jobs.
Result?: U.S. Dept. of Health Care Insurance
..and so it begins
The natural law of business says that the large can only get so large — and eventually will shrink as smaller companies grow. This leaves larger companies with a large number of retirees that can only add cost to the companies. Obamacare gives them an out. Corporations loyalty needs to be with their shareholders, and cutting expenses is one way they prove their loyalty.
but...but...but...Dear Leader said we would be able to keep our own insurance!!
Hopefully GM UAW retiree thugs and other union thugs will lose their Caddilac healthcare. Eff em.
Why didn’t we hear from large and small business during all of this?
They were complicit.
It’s in the plan for single payer, which is the real goal...Put the Insurance companies out of business, forces all onto government healthcare/deathcare.
If its legal... why would they have to pay a fine?
Just say'n
Isn’t this the norm? I retired early & have to pay for my insurance until I’m old enough for Medicare. My sweetie, who’s a bit older than me, was dropped from insurance when he became eligible for Medicare. It didn’t seem as if there was a choice!
How many union retirees will be effected?
Watch out.
The horror stories of retirees losing coverage? The disappearance of private insurance companies? The coming rise in premiums? The looming doctor shortages?
Those are all Bush's fault. The old, the sick, the poor will likely blame all the problems of Obamacare on Republicans.
Obama said we would keep the insurance we have.
He lied.
I’ve have never understood why a business would pay for retiree’s healthcare.
As I understand it, there was a tax subsidy in the Medicare prescription drug plan that we an incentive for companies to keep people on their plan when they retire as opposed to dumping them off on Medicare. This tax incentive was done away with in Obamacare.
Change you can believe in. Communism at its best. It’s just starting folks, hang on to everything you have. You may need it.
It's also why the Republican Party has been part of the strategy all along. First the GOP implemented a massive Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. Then the Democrats pass an ObamaCare package that: (1) provides financial incentives for companies to eliminate insurance for their current or retired employees, and (2) slashes Medicare coverage for current and future retirees.
The Republicans passed the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan that allows private companies to drop retirees from their insurance rolls and put them on Medicare. Then the Democrats slash the Medicare coverage for these people. Both parties would have taken a ton of sh!t . . . and a lot of political pressure from the opposing party . . . for doing exactly what they've allowed each other to do here.
Seniors get to die to give illegals, slackers, and drug addicts free healthcare.
I think America has had enough of this crap.
