The plan all along for the corporatists and globalist corps. was to “cost shift” medical care benefits over to “the government”, ie. the taxpayers. Corporations get out of taxes so their liablity is reduced to zero.
Part of those corporations, the insurance companies, bought into this BS because they anticipated a bonanza of mandated premiums pouring into their coffers. Dirty secret these greedy a-holes did not ferret out or care about is... the unemployed will not a-pay for insurance or b) be able to afford it.
The “exchanges” are designed to fail— to drive prices up and the private insurers out. The “fix” is the single payer — the all providing “government”. The quality of care resulting— absolute shiite.
This is why RINOs support it... copying the english nightmare. The wealthy will always find medical care— be it in Singapore or NYC or any tertiary center of “excellence”.
On the other hand why should companies have to expend resources for their employee’s health insurance?
And ever wonder why it’s more advantageous to offshore when you don’t have to worry about covering Sanjay in Mumbai?
Employment and health insurance should be decoupled.....in fact, I would assert, it’s a huge factor in age discrimination.
