Employers looking at health insurance options (0bamacare, mm, mmm, mmm)
AP ^ | Oct. 24, 2010 | RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR

WASHINGTON (AP) - The new health care law wasn't supposed to undercut employer plans that have provided most people in the U.S. with coverage for generations. But last week a leading manufacturer told workers their costs will jump partly because of the law. Also, a Democratic governor laid out a scheme for employers to get out of health care by shifting workers into taxpayer-subsidized insurance markets that open in 2014. Excerpted per FR posting rules.

Pelosi’s comment “we’ll have to pass the bill to see whats in it” was true in more ways than one.

All of the onerous IRS 1099 regulations that have not one damn thing to do with health care but will place an incredible burden on business.

And best of all, wrecking the coverage of millions of people by raising costs or causing their carriers to drop health insurance totally.

Way to go Democrats!! Your utopian vision of a “total government” state is starting to look more and more like the crapfest it is, such that even the usual drones of Democrat groupthink are picking up on it.

It’ll never be “completely” repealed. There are so many nooks and crannies with this monstrosity, even pure conservatives with a fine tooth comb won’t be able to get rid of it.

May every last one of ‘em who voted for this albatross rot in a dark, hot pit.

I beg to differ.

Maybe because the AP’s employee coverage has also been affected? Too bad for these Obama ass-kissers that Obamacare did not include “journalists” in their exclusion list.

I guess they can mandate we buy Chevy Volts and fine us or tax us if we do not. How they can twist the Constitution in to this I have no idea.

all employers simply need to inform Obummer that ObummerCare is not wanted by the employees. If it is so great all federal employees and politicians will take the healthcare and surrender their current plans. If it is successful which I highly doubt it will be it will be deemed null and void and all politicians will be liable for all the costs that incurred and any deaths that happened the politicians are responsible. lets put a cost on the pain and suffering that these idiotic morons strived to achieve. they have to understand their stupidity and make them fiscally responsible for the damage that they have induced because of their haste to give into to a bully a dictator and a manipulative piece of donkey excrement. Seize all Obummers, McCain’s, Kerry and et als property. These bastartds and bitches are responsible for the high unemployment, high negatives that are occurring Arresting them and placing them in a prison in Northern Michigan with no heat, no running water will only make anyone understand when the politicians screw up thye have consequences to their stupidity and arrognance

I’m afraid that many employers are thrilled to be able to dump their employee healthcare costs onto the government. In fact I believe that was reason Obama was elected in the first place.

My hubby is on the Board of Directors of his moderate size professional company (1500 employees). They have an emergency meeting next week to discuss the 50% increase in insurance premiums that has been quoted to them. If this doesn’t cause inflation, I dont know what will!
