Friday night news dump: White House says 51 percent of health plans won't meet Obamacare guidelines
Wash Examiner ^ | 6/11/10 | Mark Hemmingway

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. (View the full report here.)

The Associated Press is also on the story. Even they can't ignore the dishonesty that was used to sell the health care overhaul:

Over and over in the health care debate, President Barack Obama said people who like their current coverage would be able to keep it.

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

It will reach 100% at some point in the not too distant future.

Barry thought Dubya left him a mess. Imagine what the next president is facing. It’s going to take a long time to unscrew the mess Barry and his ‘RAT comrades are making.

I’ve heard that Obama is going to read each one and toss them into one of two piles:

Passes - 40% tax

Doesn’t Pass - 75% tax

With the WH performance on the gulf crisis, we can predict their management of our healthcare, right?

"If you have a health plan you get to keep it"

Freepers were not fooled. I suspect half of America knew it was a lie from the beginning.

I’m hearing some very bad rumors from folks in CHQ HR about this in the future. Massive layoffs for anyone near retirement due to company costs. Large companies are already planning massive cuts to payroll to pay for this.

As I understand this, starting Jan 2013 and thereafter, employees will be no longer be offered current medical benefits as currently received due to these changes as required by law. I’m hearing estimates range for each employee and to the company to be over $1000 more per year per employee AND dependent.

The States have the power of the 10th amendment - they just have to enforce it. There are a few that will...

What did they know and when did they know it?
