RE :’ Like many businesses that are well financed, he is self-insured. This means he contracts a Fidelity or some other benefits management outfit/insurer to maintain a website mailing and payments system to his employees (and maybe to him but prob. not). The “paid” medical premiums are paid by the employer, really out of the finance dept accounts for the employee’s pay, and another portion paid by the employer as a declared “benefit” is tax deductible to the employer. Only recently have self employed individuals been allowed to deduct and only to a limitation set by Congress, and employers get the better deduction”

So just to follow this thread logic, do you think that Obama-care will directly change anything (significantly) about Rush's self insurance? Or is it for those whose employers cant afford self insurance?

I know personally it wont hurt Rush as he can always afford the best, unless there is a Obama-care tax that applies to him for his income.

You are aware that Rush could quit today, and bank it for life? He does what he does because he likes what he does and deep down he is his father’s son, and loves this country. This is NOT about Rush. This is about our country being systematically destroyed, institution by institution, and one can see this every where one turns.

Obamawontcare is affecting EVERY business NOW, self insured or otherwise, and every small business including the S corporations and family corporations. The mandate was/is the central issue, coupled with IRS enforcement as a threat— to dig down into our very personal lives and our private information— to persist to the point of removing our right of self defence. In order to stay in business it is causing layoffs, reorgs and additional costs that are destroying this country so that the great unwashed who will sit on their ass and collect checks and food stamps will have “healthcare”. Our rollover RINOs say it is the “law of the land”— they need to be made to break the moving parts that lets it continue and we as citizens should disobey.

Obamawontcare was pushed by large multinational megacorps (especially those in pharma in order to place themselves as govt supplier of choice) to cost shift their deductible “benefits” off onto the so called “taxpayer”. Just like the coal owners many years ago were only too happy for a special system of healthcare payments just for miners-— which the owners wouldn’t have to pay for other than in their “taxes” which they could avoid. This is just like Teddy K creating HMOs, holding them harmless through ERISA against malpractice suits, and then.. having created the nightmare to set up “free” govt. care you then support an abject socialist to put in english style govt. system. Even the trial lawyers in the dem party know this is a nightmare. But as Rush pointed out— you can’t beat Santa Claus, even if all you get from him is cheap toys from China.

Every freethinking individual in this country who isn’t a freaking drone or cypher, ought to think about civil disobedience- stop thinking about stuffing their own pie holes or the kardashian television world of morons- do not report to the IRS your status, for starters. Think of it as speeding on a federal highway. Shut this down- we do not consent.
