Nancy Clark served her purpose as a useful idiot. Apparently there are millions of them.
I have this term I use...’the fifty stages of pain’.
When you look at the current position, and ‘pain’ that regular people are feeling...we are barely at stage ten. It’s complicated. It’s surprising (you get the notice, then eyeball the new rate being $4000 more than before). The deductible now plays into everything....not that crummy $1,500 one that you always enjoyed. Your wife whines about this nightly now because that trip to Aruba next year is gone. Your dream of season tickets finally to the Braves season is gone.
Around January, we move to a new stage of pain. Realization that not enough young punks signed up. Just whispers, but the insurance companies hint of more rate increases for 2015.
By April and May, we move to another level of pain....the deductible is now being played out and guys are charging it to the credit card. Suddenly, $6000 for that emergency room visit, and all on the credit card.
After August, you get the rate for 2015 in the mail....another increase in the rate of pain. You will pay double over what you paid in 2012.
Meanwhile, your other level of pain will start up....your senator denying they ever understood anything but voted for it.
So for the fifty levels of pain....don’t worry. We are barely at stage ten right now. We’ve got plenty of levels left to clear. By spring of 2016, in the midst of political turmoil and both parties talking of their new solution package....we will reach level fifty. Somewhere in the early or late part of 2016....you should expect a recession to boil up....totally dependent on affordable healthcare.
“-————useful idiot. Apparently there are millions of them.”

Yep,they’re out there.
.
And they are discarded like used Kleenex once they do. When will they ever learn that they become just idiots once the BO regime uses them for their intended purpose.
True dat...wonder if she is still gushing or is she merely oozing...
Same thing is going to happen to us...we just purchased last years insurance to get us to January but there is no way the company can afford the increases BCBS is demanding...so its sayonara employee coverage. Hello eschanges...oooo goody.
I’ve half a mind to tell ‘em to forget it and just show up at er’s when I need something. Scru the bill...
Nancy Clark is a two-faced weasel. Like many business owners, she could not wait for the opportunity to throw her employees into the exchanges in order to get out of the business of paying for their healthcare.
This would not have passed had the business community been united against it. Many employers saw a chance to ditch their healthcare costs, and insurance companies saw 30 million new customers at gunpoint. Classic Marxist divide-and-conquer.
yea those folks in Vermont where they elect a known left in Sanders, they will be getting some new thought. If she saves money on healthcare by dropping it and then paying them more will they lose the “tax break” you bet. No free lunch.
