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.

Unexpected!
And the Supremes still must decide if those paragraphs in ACA were a typo or if they really meant that you only get a subsidy if you signed up through a state exchange.
Roberts will just put some white out on the typo for ‘em.
Another “unintended” consequence.
Right now, there are MORE “uninsured” persons in the territory once known as “the United States of America” than there were on January 20, 2009.
Those who had no insurance then, were either healthy and did not need it, or they were the kind that mostly would have been caught by various “safety nets”. Sure, a few would have slipped through, and once their plight was known, something was ALWAYS done on their behalf.
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.
The simple rule is, Lead, follow, or get the H*ll out of the way. The Current Regime does not understand the concept of leadership, they are too obstinate to follow ANYTHING or ANYBODY, and they sure haven’t made any move to get the H*ll out of the way.
maybe the solution is ...
Single Payer?
Totally unexpected, of course.
We’ve been grubered.
The “SOMA” will be to put everyone on Medicaid as is currently happening now.
Hillary to the rescue! Time to drag out the ‘Health Security for Women’ signs since females will ONCE AGAIN be herded like sheep into auditoriums and rally around the mythical ‘war on women’.
Most likely because several key parts of the program were (illegally) delayed by Obama, not because the CBO was too dour in their predictions.
(check out the body language of the whiteys (clenched fists and all)...looks like they just been informed that "according to our records" they be-headed for the hospice) no pun intended.
Well, the good news is that, if you like our doctor you can keep your doctor and oh, you will save an average of $2,500 a year (for starters) once you are dumped on the miracle that is, Obamacare.
Exactly as intended.
Remember the government rule of 10’s...
Any government estimate will cost 10 times as much as originally projected, or do 10 times as much damage.
Corollary: The revised estimate, when this is found to be true, will also be government by the above rule.
Yare, matey...One Payer heaving to on the horizon....
Totally.
Right on schedule for the left who wanted this to happen as a stepping stone to a mandatory national health service.
The contradictions and onerous penalties and costs associated with Obamacare were not accidental. They were planned by the left to cause the erosion and disappearance of private health insurance.
Gomer Pyle: Shazam.
Gomer Pyle: Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Gomer Pyle: Shame, shame, shame!
