The university is also requiring employees to complete an online health survey and sign up for a health screening by Oct. 31 to avoid an increase in premiums. My bet is that 75%+ of UVa employees voted for Obama so I'm sure they'll be absolutely DELIGHTED with the changes wrought by Obamacare.

“My bet is that 75%+ of UVa employees voted for Obama so I’m sure they’ll be absolutely DELIGHTED with the changes wrought by Obamacare.”
The only thing “conservative” about the above statement is the number - I’d put it at 90%.

The University of Virginia is a public research university in Charlottesville....So all employees there are paid by the government of Virginia and now they are going to be screwed by Federal Gov't employees just a few miles away in Washington DC

will only use aggregated data with no employee names. These data help us identify trends and guide our wellness efforts.

“”If the spouse is covered under a plan defined by the Affordable Care Act as minimum value and affordable, he or she will no longer be eligible.””
And just how many people and how many man hours will it take to determine that? May have to hire a bunch of new employees that will cost more in salary than the insurance premium for the spouse. Great thinking!

When spouses have to go out and buy their own insurance it may be better to just quit and become a House wife.

A thought just crossed my mind. All the homosexual spouses who have fought for a long time so they can be put on their fruit partners insurance just got screwed.

I don’t see the problem here. If an employee’s spouse gets health insurance from her job, why should her hubby’s insurance provide redundent coverage?

And just how many people and how many man hours will it take to determine that? Pretty easy to implement I'd think.
You cancel all the spousal coverage.
And put the burden of proof on the employee to bring in tax returns showing no W-2s for the spouse.
If there are W-2s, employee must produce an affadavit from that employer verifying no coverage available.
