I really don’t think the Democrats realized how the American people would NOT be cheering them on for “delivering” healthcare to them. Most Americans are not THAT stupid and recognize a con when they see it and when the Dems are in their face nonstop for months talking about it... and then they realize A) It does not offer immediate coverage for pre-existing conditions B) They find out the bill does not GIVE them health coverage but says they have to PAY for it C) If they DON’T pay for it, they will be fined D) Their employer explains how they won’t be able to afford that raise in 2014 because they will either have to bump up their coverage or pay a fine
Anyway, the American people realized what a craphole of a plan this is right away.
Actually, from first hand knowledge of my companies contingency plans, it should read like this: D) Their employer explains how they will be dropping health insurance coverage for all employees as the fine is less than 10% of the cost of providing health insurance.
Thank goodness it does not have immediate coverage for pre-existing conditions. That will destroy the system.
