"So they would be saving money at the same time as they are paying the penalty."

WHOA!
My head just spun around 360o.

(I think I hurt my neck.)

The only White Castle here in Southern Delaware is our Congressman.

Good to see you around, Kent.

One of the things I miss living out here in Arkansas, White Castles! Once you get past St. Louis, they disappear :( Whenever we go back to Indiana to visit family, we try to pay a visit to a White Castle. The kids love them too :)

My dad moved down to the South for his job after he and Mom divorced. He dearly missed White Castles, and whenever my grandparents or anyone from up north would come to visit, they would bring Dad his fix, LOL.

This whole mess was conceived by the alumni of the Harvard School of Public health, scions of the Oligarchy, hoping never to dirty their hands at anything other than the work PC We the People force them to use at ‘work” in their Ivory Towers.

Mess is too light a term for the bureaucratic, administrative, and financial hell these clowns intend to visit upon flyover country.

AFSCME guy...

"He figures many of the White Castle workers who would end up paying a significant amount of their income for premiums would opt to buy less expensive coverage from a federal exchange."

The goal of the socialist bill explained clearly, and by a union guy.

“I don’t think any of them have the slightest idea what they’re even trying to do. It’s just a question of how long the health care and insurance industries can carry on before they start getting slammed with arbitrary and oppressive requirements.”

That’s exactly what the functionairies did in Hitler’s fascist Germany, as outlined in the book “The Vampire Economy.” Arbitrary and capricious rules carried out by clueless bureaucrats. Fascism has infected this country since the 1930s. It needs to be identified as fascism, so people can be sufficiently horrified and begin the process of ridding themselves of the “vampires.”

Ohio hamburger...

Instantly, my thoughts went to the Maid Rite Sandwich Shoppe in Greenville, Ohio.
Don't know if any other freepers know about that place, but we never go back to Ohio with visiting!

“Yes, there are.”

That makes me happy! I practically lived in the one on Brady Street!

He was! I just wish someone would bring me some out here! My mom and stepdad drove out in their RV back in the spring-should have made them stop in St. Louis for some, LOL.

Unfortunately, Dad died back in 1989 of accidental drowning at the age of 38, when I was 16, and my brother and half-brother were 13 and 7. He passed on his looks to me, and also his love of history and White Castles :)

I was about to speculate that if Krystal’s sliders aren’t as tasty or moist that they probably don’t have White Castle’s time consuming, yet vital, little holes in them.

Only difference between a Krystal and a White Castle is the mustard. The WC does not come with mustard.

So, if I read the article correctly, it’s a $3000 fine/tax if their employees have to pay more than 9.5% of their premium cost but they only pay $2000 if they don’t provide insurance at all. Sounds like a no-brainer to me. “Sorry folks, it’s better for the company to discontinue your insurance coverage.”

That also makes me think that this whole scheme is set up to intentionally fail so the communists can use it as the excuse to usher in the single-payer scheme they wanted all along.
