Obamacare Leads to Health Cuts
USBC News | June, 2011 | The USBC News Wire

Companies are now cutting healthcare benefits in response to the regulations and burdens placed on them by the so-called Obamacare. The Democratic-led health care legislation has been widely criticized as placing unnecessary job killing burdens on businesses. This has led to an estimated 30% of companies now expected to cut or reduce employee health benefits as a direct reaction to President Obama's signature health care legislation.

According to the study, “At least 30% of employers would gain economically from dropping coverage, even if they completely compensated employees for the change through other benefit offerings or higher salaries.”

We were told that our employee healthcare premiums were going up 34% this year. Epic fail.

Everytime I see a van like that or an extreme amount of stickers on a car I want to shake their hand and buy them a beer.

Yet during the whole long healthcare debate, Obama and his useful idiots said that if you like the healthcare plan you have now, you could keep it; no changes required. If you like your doctor, you can keep seeing him/her. No changes required.

So what in the sam hill happened??????

And why was Obama able to get away with outrageous statements, such as surgeons amputating feet to make more money? I don’t think anyone in the MSM ever called him out on that one. Yet we’re supposed to trust that someone with such a distorted view of how doctors practice medicine is going to deliver “quality affordable” healthcare, as good Democrats are fond of saying.

He knowingly lied his a$$ off.

The MSM is just an arm of the liberal/democrat party.

Exactly. And that's because this whole thing isn't about healthcare at all, it's about cradle to grave big brother government control.

“And why was Obama able to get away with outrageous statements...”

This is totally absurd and another lie.
