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 Obamas claim that if you like your coverage, youd get to keep it.

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.
That's only if you are a citizen. Illegal aliens will continue getting free medical treatment.
"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 Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts.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 Americas trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.

OVER 10,000 AMERICANS JOIN LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMACARE
...so now that we conservatives have been proven right, where are you smug little holier than thou moderates who were talking down to us?
Right on, soul brother #1!
Obama is an idiot who thinks you are an idiot. He is the worst kind of idiot.
“We need to pass the bill to find out what’s in it”
later
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!
Hope and Change!
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.
Sh*t rolls down hill - and we are at the bottom ...
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.
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.
