CNBC’s morning anchors were troubled by the news that their own insurance plans will become more costly under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
On Oct. 30’s “Squawk Box,” CNBC Senior Correspondent Scott Cohn revealed details of NBC’s open enrollment, brandishing an official fact book outlining the process. He quoted the document, revealing that the ACA would increase employee premiums.
Cohn observed “Some of these costs, when you look at this, are way up -- double digits.”
Aetna Chairman and CEO, Mark Bertolini explained that “Aetna alone will pass through to its customers over a billion dollars of taxes and fees associated with the Affordable Care Act.”
Ironically, NBC has worked hard to promote Obamacare. In the week before the exchanges opened, NBC launched their own week-long campaign, to “help Americans get the most out of the Affordable Care Act.” NBC affiliate MSNBC was even more blatant in touting Obamacare.
According to the new health plan, “federally mandated health care changes will require Comcast-NBCUniversal to pay new fees and implement plan design changes that will contribute to the increased cost of our plans.”
These plan changes would also affect other NBCUniversal outlets like NBC and MSNBC.
Universal poverty is the goal.
Someone needs to post the tiny violin!
They're already half-way there from what I'm seeing.
And we passed the point of no return a long time ago.
When TSHTF, we should look in on the Congress critters who made it all possible and make sure they're safe.
Kinda warms yer heart, don't it?
Universal poverty is called " leveling the field "
Its also called tolerance for diversity
Its also called , the rape of the treasury !
Keep voting Demoratic , and we will all look like Detroit !
Do you think there’s any chance that NBC, MSNBC, ETC. will turn against Zero?

Why Obiecare will fail…
Many in the MSM will eventually be swept up in its net. That is when they will no longer carry the Obamacare water for Emperor Obie.
On so many issues the MSM has managed to stay detached from the consequences of liberal tax and spend policies. Not in this case. I often wondered what issue would be the tipping point. The one to make them turn.
I think this one is it.

and when they say “get the most out of it” they really mean how to put the most into it

No, at least in any meaningful way. They’ve got to much invested in him.
Yes: But Obama says the policy will go up because their old insurance was no good and the new insurance will have so many wonderful things in it—like Maternity care for men.
Chrissy might need that ,but most men won’t.
They are a business, as long as they can find a way to pass along the cost of doing business, they won’t turn on Obama.
LOL
Chrissy is 67, so it’s too late for maternity care, but a hysterectomy might be covered.
This is the other shoe to drop...even those with employer-based insurance are going to see big increases across the board. Open enrollment is going to be a rude awakening.
Yep, and they can save a few bucks by locking Chrissy and Lawrence O'Donnell in the same padded room.
Ours just ended today. No significant changes as far as I could see.
Next year will be an entirely different story.
You’ll need a plane ticket. Their jeep cards are all punched for overseas residences.
Yep, just wait until next year..we’ve already had peek & it’s not pretty.
