This week, another major U.S. retailer—Target—announced that it will be cutting health coverage for its part-time workers in response to changes stemming from the president’s health care law.

The Minneapolis-based company now joins the likes of Home Depot and Trader Joes, among others, that have decided to dump part-time employee coverage to save on health care costs.

Despite all the errors - Obama and the Left have achieved one thing for themselves.

They have created another huge permanent dependent group. Its roots are going deep now, and Republicans can do nothing about it.

in 2 years, there will be tens of millions of people on Obamacare-related programs, as crappy, expensive and inefficient as it is for them, or especially the rest of us. They will represent a huge block of people whose entitlement can not be touched.

With all of the Insurance companies either dropping out of deathcare or considering doing so, who is going to underwrite these companies policies?

Major insurer Aetna observed: “We see only 11 percent of the population once firmly uninsured that are now insured. So [O/Care] didn’t really eat into the uninsured population” (the raison d'etre for its passage). Aetna is considering dropping out of the O/Care system---leaving a huge gap in the plan.

FOR THIS BOOBAMBA DESTROYED THE ENTIRE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM---Months after the wobbly roll-out and screwed-up web site, Obamacare cunningly shifted people who were already insured onto its public exchanges to get taxpayer subsidies.....but failed to disclose these facts in order to hide its incompetence.

==================================================

"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."

" All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could:
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes."

"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."

Unexpectedly of course!

Well the thing is, if you get their version of poor people insurance through Obamacare and have any assets, expect a lien later on those assets.

No free ride, just a more expensive one unless you intent to remain as broke as a joke.

“in 2 years, there will be tens of millions of people on Obamacare-related programs, as crappy, expensive and inefficient as it is for them, or especially the rest of us. They will represent a huge block of people whose entitlement can not be touched.”

We have a winner. Millions more on Medicaid or subsidized that are now untouchable dependents of the federal government.

I will not have any kind of conversation with a liberal. If I know they’re liberal, I will not be in the same room with them. But it would be fun to watch them bitch and moan when all of Granny’s worldly good go to the state.

Its roots are going deep now, and Republicans can do nothing about it.

That would be counter productive since the GOPe has done everything they could to make sure conservatives could not delay "The Law of the Land" ObamaCare.

Wait a minute here. Lets not gloss over this christie-bridge thing.

[ex-snook]

A small step for companies, a large step for single payer.

[what's up]

No doubt Target is intending for these employees to go on the exchange and they will promote the subsidies.

But these employees will now have to pay a couple hundred a month PLUS deductibles. My bet is not that many will sign up.
