The Obama administration unilaterally delayed a portion of the employer mandate, but it still takes effect for those employing more than 200 workers at the beginning of January 2015. Large employers have to budget as soon as this summer to deal with those costs. Most of them will start scaling down their so-called “Cadillac” health care plans to avoid the taxes those will accrue by 2016, getting ahead of the curve.

Many may choose to give up on offering health insurance at all. The data from HHS after the passage of Obamacare showed that the Obama administration expected as many as 93 million Americans to be thrown out of their existing coverage, with employers opting to either scale down or get out, paying the fine instead.

That’s only one-out-of-three or one-out-of-two people. What’s the big deal?

Soundbite: 93 million to lose healthcare insurance January 2015 - Obamacare.

Thank you, thank you.

Robert Gibbs: “I don’t think the employer mandate will go into effect. It’s a small part of the law. I think it will be one of the first things to go,” he said to a notably surprised audience.

And they’re out there saying that the conservatives wouldn’t dare kick 7 million people out of their insurance plans.

Well, there is certainly no danger of a Cadillac plan at my workplace.

Don’t worry, after you’re cancelled you’ll be able to buy less coverage at three times what you were paying thanks to Obama and his healthcare sh*t sandwich.

Gee, THANKS! Feeling all warm and fuzzy now.

*DRINK* LOL!

Beau had his gall bladder removed this past winter. He has one of those ‘Cadillac’ policies thanks to his Union, but out-of-pocket costs leave him still owing $3,500.00!

He went to the hospital yesterday to argue the bill. He demanded they put his gall bladder back in and he’ll call it even, LOL! Oh, we gotta laugh or we’ll shoot ourselves in the head.

I can’t hardly WAIT for my health care to be FREE! Wa-Hoo! Yippee!
