“This is more of a seismic change, because most employers are looking forward to this Cadillac tax in 2018 and realizing they’re going to have to get ready for it now. And you can’t just shift costs to avoid it; you have to cut benefits.”
We are. It saddens us greatly.
Everybody gets the shaft under Obamacare, and the Democrats think they can run on it in 2014.
Is Wasserman Schultz crazy or what?
YIKES
That's a kr@pload of Bammy bucks (I'm Yellin' here) just for HealthCare.
By 2018 I’ll have been retired for two years.
If these people voted for DIMs/LIBs... Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahaha. Choke on it.
I'm gonna find a vet to put on retainer.
The Bakers have a good policy so they should shut-up and appreciate it.
Wonder who they voted for?
Jason Furman says the real story is how much the growth in health care costs and cost sharing have slowed in the last few years.
“This past year, adjusted for inflation, premiums rose 2.3 percent. That’s one-third the rate that they were growing a decade ago,” Furman said.
“You just can’t blame everything in the health system on this law. It had a lot of problems before it, and it’s actually helping to make them better.”
Another cheerleading moron that needs to look at deductibles and out of pocket expenses involved with this law. It ain’t all about premiums or a dopey website.
It's designed to raise taxes. Period.
The thinking is that if consumers have to pay more expenses themselves, through higher deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, they’ll avoid unnecessary or overly costly procedures. And that is supposed to make care more affordable for everyone.
Good grief. People don't benefit from market forces when the heavy hand of government is involved.
Next meme please.
My medical+dental+glasses, cost my employer about $22,000.
Now that I am retired the benefits are going down fast!
My hearing aids cost $6k most was covered; next year half as much.They only pay every five years what does medicare pay?
My guess is medicare will provide a large plastic funnel an a long list of do’s and don’ts.
Hmmm. A cartoon showing a horse in a wagon that has a skull and cross bones over a “W” on the tailgate. Perhaps you are alluding to “She Who Is Dumber Than A Box Of Rocks” being retired by the voters of California? That would be nice. As for my retirement, though, it is — I’m afraid — a bit more prosaic.
......and when the $27,500 becomes taxable as regular income, the s**t will really hit the fan.
Commiecare is going to hit everyone..the RATS keep spewing their 5% BS but they’re lying. I work for a large employer that specifically told us reason for increased premiums and deductibles are due to the UCA. Many companies are going through open enrollment periods right now so thousands like me are probably hearing/seeing same increases for their 2014 benefits.
Question:
How many people that went to the emergency room, before the law,........... paid anything??
Answer:
The same number that can’t/won’t pay their deductible!!
(plus a few more.....Because it’s Free!!!......some things never change)
