In 2011 during his reelection campaign Barack Obama promised Americans who get their insurance from the workplace will see $3,000 in savings thanks to Obamacare.

Not true.
The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), a group representing 11,000 members and small businesses, has not had a single member report health-care savings under Obamacare.
The New York Post reported:
New Yorks small-business owners, seniors and doctors are among the big losers as President Obamas prescription for health-insurance reform takes effect.
The National Federation of Independent Businesses, an organization that represents nearly 11,000 entrepreneurs across the state, says it has yet to find a single member whose health-care costs are going down under the ObamaCare program, whose plans took effect New Years Day.
Meanwhile, an overwhelming majority of businesses canvassed by the group has reported increases in their insurance premiums, said Mike Durant, the NFIBs New York director.
For twenty years, the problem with health insurance is that it’s cost was becoming prohibitive. So what does the Boy Genius do to solve the problem? Make it even MORE expensive.
I have a close friend in NY who is a small business owner, and gets her insurance through the chamber of commerce.
Her insurance wet down $300 a month. I was surprised. She said the coverage stayed the same. Deductible of $50.
Embrace the suck.
NFIB has over 350,000 members nationwide. I have been a member for the past 11 years in Florida. Add my name to the list of business owners who have lost their insurance due to the UNaffordable Care Act...aka ObamaCare. My premiums are set to double, and my coverage will be much worse. I still don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my doctor.
Embrace the suck.

Unaccountable arrogance. This (female dog) is a perfect example of the deterioration of our government. 2014 is not going to be a Happy New Year....
NFIB has done some good work after Obamacare was passed but I remember when they thought they could cut a deal with Dick Durbin and Max Baucus.
They are in every state and their correct name is National Federation of Independent Business - not Businesses. Amazing how many media sources get the wrong.

See? It's a communist success story.
Barely covered. TMI.
Yeah, but Angel Adams will be able to have 15 more kids!
BTTT!
