Administration: 51% Of Companies’ Health Plans Won’t Pass Muster
Investor's Business Daily ^ | June 11, 2010 | Sean Higgins and David Hogberg

Posted on 06/13/2010 12:52:17 AM PDT by XHogPilot

Internal White House documents reveal that 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage by 2013 due to ObamaCare. That numbers soars to 66% for small-business employers.

The documents — product of a joint project of the Labor Department, the Health and Human Services Department and the IRS — examine the effects new regulations would have on existing, or “grandfathered,” employer-based health care plans.

Draft copies of the documents were reportedly leaked to House Republicans earlier in the week. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., posted them on his Web site Friday afternoon. (View the full report here.)

According to the report, by 2013 51% of all employers — 66% of small employers (3-99 employees) and 45% of large employers — would have to relinquish current coverage. In a worst-case scenario, 69% of firms would lose their grandfathered status.

This could pose a serious threat to President Obama’s claim that if you like your coverage, you’d get to keep it.

Most of what you wrote was, and as in theoretical politically.

The Constitution is a theory? Are you serious? The Constitution is far more than theory. It is the foundation of all laws. The only theory is the assumption upon which you so little regard you have for your fellow Americans.

I on the other hand extrapolated current events into the future an projected the reality of the present.

The reality is the Constitution is the means by which the limited powers bestowed to the federal government are extrapolated from Article 1 Section 8 and and the far more numerous powers extrapolated to the states per the 10th Amendment.

Reality is the people have no power. They have allready surrendered it,

Oh really? You better tell that to the millions and growing number of people who formed the tea party movement in February 2009. Tell that to Jim Robinson who posts on the Free Republic Welcome Page the following greeting:

Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

Speak for yourself. You maybe willing to capitulate your Constitutional freedoms so easily but it is clear by their actions many others aren't so willing. Why do you bother posting at FR given you're convinced you have no power?

This lying communist bastard couldn't care less about any promise or claim that he made during the passage of osamaobama care.

DemonRATs lie, cheat and steal, all day, every day, and the drive-bye-media are totally complicit in aiding and abetting the RAT bastards.

Unless there is no recourse but compliance. No insurance, no hospital admittance, no doctor visit, no prescription, no medicine.

That's only if you are a citizen. Illegal aliens will continue getting free medical treatment.

Join the Obamacare Class Action Lawsuit

"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.

If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of "We the People".

“He has an agenda and he’s fulfilling it.

The “idiots” are the ones who voted for him.”

You nailed it.

Unfortunately we (conservatives, FReepers, TEA Party, etc) are suffering the same consequences as the dumb asses who voted for him.... in fact maybe even more severe consequences, as the socialist labor unions have special grandfathered provisions to protect & preserve their cadillac plans.

We need a 2nd Am Revolution ASAP to throw every demoRAT local, state & federal official or politician straight into prison or to the gallows!

Never will be repealed unless the GOP wins the White House and 60 votes in the senate. Otherwise the Dems will filibuster it to death.

GOP may win majorities in the next couple elections. But they arnt going to have enough votes to repeal this thing.

The impact of Obamacare should be irrelevant because we need to elect a Republican majority and a Republican president, so as to overturn Obamacare. We are NOT going to accept it. We are going to overturn it.

This could pose a serious threat to President Obama’s claim that if you like your coverage, you’d get to keep it.

The bill itself, which Obama never read, posed a serious threat to Obama's claim.

Congress could refuse to fund any regulatory or enforcement activities. They can also refuse to delegate legislative authority to the executive branch, which they do when permitting the executive branch to create regulations.

Not a permanent solution. As soon as the Dems regain control of the House at some point in the future, they will enforce the bill.
