Williams provides health insurance to over 36 million people... Will insurance premiums go up? The answer is yes, and some of the things that will drive those premiums are significant additional taxes the industry will ultimately have to pay in the first year... things will change. You might not have a plan that includes the exact same doctors. You might have plans that have richer benefits, and therefore you're going to pay more for benefits you may or may not want. It would have been a better message to say, we're going to make certain you maintain your eligibility.
The "Cadillac" plans which are provided to unionized labor (including government employees, who make up most of the remaining unionized labor, with labor being largely euphemistic here) won't be taxed, sez Obama/Pelosi/Reid/brownshirts, but they're such liars, and the phrase "revenue neutral" which was so popular with Demwits in Congress the first two years of the Bush administration, will eventually rear its ugly head (around election time, 2010, after they and their partisan media shills have the "debate" framed just right so the Party of the Single Party State appears to be the lesser of two evils), meaning they will have to be taxed to support this monstrosity.

Companies which do not have unionized workforces (as well as some which do) will offer to pay incentives (although it may be worded differently) to employees to switch to Obamacare, because it will save them in the short run, and ultimately they know the tax burden for this abomination will have to be borne by those who are lucky enough to still have jobs after the Demwit cratering of the US economy and workplace.

I’m wondering what the impact of Obamacare will be on Company’s that are self insured for their employee’s health insurance? Ours is that way, but the administration of the plan is conducted by Aetna.
