10 times more Americans than estimated will lose employer-based health insurance under Obamacare

The latest data on Obamacare analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office shows that 10 million Americans are likely to lose their employer-based insurance by 2021 as companies dump their workers onto the Obamacare exchanges. That's 10 times the number originally projected by the CBO. About 1 of every 16 workers will be affected.

The latest CBO report has not garnered a lot of attention, even though it contains the modestly good news that Obamacare is not costing as much as the CBO thought it would in 2010. That said, another reason the left and the administration may not be touting this news is that the report also says that after a decade of Obamacare, there will still be 31 million people without health insurance - a number that has gone up every year the CBO has issued a report.

That's 10 times the number originally projected by the CBO.

But pretty darned close to the number predicted by people with their heads out of their asses.

And we will get penalized while the Muslim is exempt from it and has the finest healthcare availabld, dines at the finest restaurants, plays golf on the best ourses in the wold, and rubs it all in our faces while he sics the IRS on the whiteys.

That is the purpose of obamacare. To wit} Collapse the entire medical profession and replace it[ the medical profession] with Government bureaucrats. The physicians, nurses, and pharmacists will all be , except for the elite, be replaced by Affirmative Actions. 10 years from now, those who use witchdoctors for their medical problems will have a higher standard of care than the peasants who use the State supplied "doctors". But, it was what the people said, via their votes, they wanted.

Employers will be laying off employees and, let the ones they keep, work longer hours.

Unemployment numbers will rise.

Lets be fair now....the cockroaches running Congress also exempted themselves. So, its not just Barry getting a free ride on our dime.

The goal all along, in the hope that when people lose their insurance, they’ll clamor for/demand single payer.

[WayneS]

Yes!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Single payer, please sign in...

My only hope is in my demented mind that these politicians meet their demise in a terrorist attack. They have ruined may American lives.

This will single-handedly move us deep into a socialist state. Control the people by controlling their healthcare.

The clamor will begin for single-payer.

And the GOP loves the idea.

[WinMod70]

I didn’t know 10 million were still working.

[Sacajaweau]

Whole bunch of folks got their hours cut, too.

Going to turn the working world into all "self employed" folks.
