Well this analysis simply confirms what most of us already knew all along: that the whole intent of this health care “reform” is to ultimately create a fully socialized single-payer system by compelling employers to drop their group plans.
$400/employee “penalty” for dropping coverage? Are you kidding me? What employer in its right mind would keep its private group insurance under this plan? Hmm... let’s see... $400 vs. $12,000+.... what to do?
The other intended effect is overt redistribution of wealth (earnings) - one of Obama’s plainly-stated objectives.
It doesn’t really matter what they do with the “public option” or what they call it, even under the most innocent-sounding plan using subsidized private insurance via the government-created “exchange”.
The net result is the complete collapse of the country’s system of private insurance and payment, with the focus inevitably and unavoidably falling to the federal government to eventually become the centralized single payer.
Ergo, a complete Communist takeover of the entire healthcare system.
Of course, like I said, we already knew that.
I mean, come on - $400 vs. $6000? Just do the math.
