Ten times more than first 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.

All part of the plan. Business wants out from under health insurance costs. Health Insurance companies want to keep making money. Both are large campaign donors. So the conundrum becomes how to give both what they want. Pass a law that says if your employer dumps your health insurance, you HAVE to buy it yourself. Done. It’s a tidy system.

Unexpected!

Sad to say I think the Obama administration didn't see this coming. They assumed business would continue to offer health insurance. From a business standpoint if they can save money by fobbing their employees off on the health care exchanges then why wouldn't they do it?

“Now, the insurance programs available are so circumscribed by regulations, that they have become prohibitively expensive in many instances, or there are such high co-pays that the individuals and their families are essentially uninsured until their expenses have become catastrophic in scope. To say nothing of the severe curtailment of services delivered, or the dreadful reductions in compensation given to the providers of the health services.”


Yep. My insurance went up and my coverage went down.

Thanks Obama!

My old policy, the only real “deductibles” I had were in major medical. You had co-pays for doctor visits of course, and still do. At least they call them co-pays. What they are is partial payment for the bill you get from every service that is provided. Insurance covers basically nothing until I’ve met my $2,000 deductible.

I’m now 53 y.o. In the past I rarely went to the doctor. But I have a couple of things I need checked out. Just aches and pain type things...except I have what I think is some pre-cancerous lesions on the side of my head. I’m sure that’ll use up $2,000 real quick...

So, my coverage went UP $120 mo. and I have to pay $2,000 yr. before I get anything in return. Obama care is costing me a minimum of $3,440 a year.

Thank you sir, may I have another!

You’re not going to convince me that this whole thing wasn’t a thinly disguised “get YT” plan.

Obamacare is a a monster waiting to pounch.
It’s good for nothing. Has anyone brought up the fact that it will cost the Gum’mint %50,000 per recipient annually?

Probably even higher than you think since you will pay an additional 20% in co-pays for any services after you reach that $2000 up front deductible.

That’s what obamacare was designed to do,when Obama said his plan would save corporations money,that was one thing he did not lie about.They are going to save money by dumping insurance altogether,then everyone will be on Obamacare and you get single payer,which was the ultimate gosl
