Government price and wage controls during WW2 are what put most employers in the business of providing health insurance anyway ... they did it as a perk because they couldn’t offer more money due to wage controls ... now 70 years later another government manipulation takes business out of providing health care ...
The moral of the a story is, we are all manipulated puppets of this government ...
That was Obama’s ultimate goal right? didn’t he say that in 2008? Not being able to do it all at once, but gradually working towards the single payer option or something like that.
I’m sorry, but I have a stupid question:
Has it somehow become illegal for a private individual to enter directly into a contract agreement with a corporation for the express purpose of securing “insurance” for such things as reimbursement for medical expenses?
Is this illegal now?
That’s the goal. It’s the logical thing for Obama and his ilk to do in order to move to a government based health care system.
I thought that was the whole idea. Make the law so bad that everyone clamors for single payer.
I think that’s the point, but not for the reason that most people think. Big Business wants OUT from under onerous health insurance costs. Big Insurance wants to STAY in business. So you force people to buy insurance once their employer shuts it down. It’s a tidy system.
Now there are only 30 insurers, and some states only have one.
This is all meant to force "single-payer."
Single-payer is where every single health care dollar passes through the sticky fingers of the US feral government.
The only thing positive about this is that just as many obama loving liberals will lose their insurance as intelligent hard working conservatives. That’s the part that sucks. But it will be funny to watch the liberals cry.
I absolutely despise what these ghouls have done to this country.
0bamacare was, from the very outset, an exercise in institutionalizing the incrementalism that has been the hallmark of the left since the New (Raw?) Deal.
The fact that it was built on a ‘timeline’ of implementation should have been a warning to the world that this thing smelled of government overreach. That part of it have since been postponed, rescheduled, and exempt-able should also have been a warning that it won’t stand on its own, even with three years of advanced budgetary set-asides (rrrriiiggghhhttt!). All of this contrived and schemed because even these socialists realized that the nation would NEVER accept it in one fell swoop.
And, now (quack) Dr Zeke admits that it will destroy employer sponsored health insurance by penalizing plans that go well beyond what he and his ilk believe anyone should have (other than themselves, of course).
It is well past time for us to retake this nation and push this fedgov monster back within the confines of the Constitution.
And when they start taxing the hell out of “cadillac” health care plans?
Uh...I thought that was the purpose of Obamacare...
