White House says 51 percent of company health plans won't meet Obamacare guidelines

At Investor's Business Daily, Sean Higgins and David Hogberg have a doozy of a story:

Internal White House documents reveal that 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage by 2013 due to ObamaCare. That numbers soars to 66% for small-business employers.

The documents — product of a joint project of the Labor Department, the Health and Human Services Department and the IRS — examine the effects new regulations would have on existing, or “grandfathered,” employer-based health care plans.

Draft copies of the documents were reportedly leaked to House Republicans earlier in the week. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., posted them on his Web site Friday afternoon.

That’s the preliminary estimate. I’m sure when Comrade Obama’s apparatchiks further evaluate it, 91% won’t meet their Bolshevik requirements.

If Congress doesn’t vote to repeal this nightmare, then Congress may not exist by 2013. Secession!

Obama and the Dems plan was always to push everyone into a government run “healthcare”. They just had to do it in a sneaky way.

This is simply a lie foisted by the right wing extremists who are the real threat to the US. Our Obamassiah promised that if we liked our plan, we can keep it; clearly this report is falsehoods, and is the result of documents planted by those evil W staffers still embedded in the Government.

You are exactly right. It was the thin edge of the wedge. The goal is a fully nationalized system.

Vote all you want... Unless you have enough votes to override a Presidential veto it’s all for naught.

Didnt Obama promise us over and over that if we are happy with our current health care plans, we can keep them?? I am starting to question Obama's honesty :)

Yep, and Barney Frank was the Front man for this operation (Or should I say "Backdoor" man?)

From AP:

The types of changes that employers would be forced to make include offering preventive care without copayments and instituting an appeals process for disputed claims that follows new federal guidelines. The law already requires all health plans to extend coverage to young adult children until they turn 26. But such changes also nudge costs up.

Why can’t employed people pay $30 for a physical? Why no copay. As a small business owner who purchases health insurance, this will more than “nudge costs up”. For small business policies, which are already incredibly high, this will increase our costs quite a bit. $100 per month (my guesstimate) per employee adds a lot to the burden for a small business.

Over and over and over he wagged his finger in our faces, talking down to us, telling us we’d get to keep our current health insurance if we like it!! That maggot POS. Not like I believed him of course, but it’s hard to believe how quickly his lie has been exposed.

Now let me be clear...HE LIED! HE KNEW HE WAS LYING! HE LIED INTENTIONALLY! He wants your health care dollar so you can’t even afford to buy any privately! Actually the man just wants you dead, like his Islamofascist buddies.
