Your medical plan is facing an unexpected expense, so you probably are, too. It’s a new, $63-per-head fee to cushion the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions under President Obama’s health care overhaul.

The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers...

Sure no big deal but it’s still free though. Just ask all the useful idiots.

No wonder the insurance companies backed this monstrosity.

More collusion. Nothing short of a wholesale rebellion against this POS will stop it. Lets see them throw everybody in jail the bastards.

It’s a new, $63-per-head fee...

One time? Per year? Per month?

However it’s figured (I’d guess annually) it’s a ding on everyone.

This monkey business needs to stop.

Wait a minute here... shouldn’t this be deductible? I mean, you know... since we are paying for individuals that are dependent on us to pay for it. Why shouldn’t we be able to call them dependents for the sake of somehow deferring this cost? Isn’t everybody supposed to have some “skin in the game”?

I’d guess it is NOT a one time fee, but $63 per year, but it just might be per month knowing these people.

” The Obama administration says it is a temporary assessment levied for three years starting in 2014, designed to raise $25 billion. It starts at $63 and then declines.”

Yeah...riiiiight! We all know how truthful the Obama administration has been.

My father always said, there is no such thing as a temporary tax. And if anyone thinks the amount will go down, I have some prime swamp land to sell you.

Sorry, but I need for Mark and Rush to tell us again how we come back from this? Pfft!

You must pay for insurance under Obamacare. Either an insurance premium, or a penalty for not having insurance.

Only the “poor” will be exempt because they will have “free” insurance.

It shouldn’t say “per person.” It should say “per slave” or “per worker” or something like that. The perpetual leeches and parasites will continue to pay nothing. (And, just to make it clear, I’m not talking about those who are unemployed and looking or who gave up.)

At the current count.

My parents always said and say the same thing about “temp” taxes.

I noticed how our masters slipped in that we might have to forever pay this, to SUPPOSEDLY (yeah, right) pay down the deficit.

Oh, it won't be free for long. EVERYBODY is going to end up paying for this monstrosity...EVERYBODY. There aren't enough Rich and working middle class to pay for this beast. It's only a matter of time, but everybody will indeed pay for this...and more.
