I know of several businesses that are going to have to close because they can’t afford to have health care on their employees.
How many people does our company have? Hmmm 50, hope the 50th likes losing their job, and the COBRA payments.
I explained to a couple co-workers today that because of this new law, our employer will eventually drop providing medical benefits to us as the cost will be more than the penalties he will have to pay upon dropping us. I then reminded them that the law REQUIRES EVERYONE to have health insurance whether you want it or not, and that it will be GOVERNMENT telling us the kind of coverage we will have.
They didn’t look very pleased with the idea when I was finished. Yet they were excited about it at first.
They had both voted for “TheOne”.
Stupid, stupid, ignorant sheep. I was totally ashamed of them both.
