Just on this basis alone no Democrat should ever be elected to any office from Dog Catcher on up.
It's inevitable that there will be cost overruns and an inability of the government to sustain the subsidies etc. that are counted on now to keep Obamacare afloat. Eventually (probably very much sooner than these people realize) the government is going to go hunting for more ways to pay for the subsidies etc., and they will come after business. At that point, business won't be able to shop around for the best insurance deal for their employees and themselves. They will pay the bill the government hands them, and it will be a lot worse than what they are dealing with now.
Further, if the whole system collapses and the democrats get their way with single payer, it will be even worse for U.S. businesses. I know many of them don't think so, but they will see the light in due course.
What I don’t understand is why the talking heads are not talking about how the elderly who cannot pay the premiums will have their homes taken over by the medical industrial complex.
.... I finally figured out why they ran this story now. What happened was the original source for this story is actually Kaiser Health News, and...Somebody decided to rewrite the Kaiser Health News release as a news story. They tried to make it look like the website came up with it and that Kaiser's incidentally being quoted here and there....What is noteworthy about that (and you might even say truly sickening) is that Kaiser Health News -- Kaiser -- has been one of the foremost champions of Obamacare. They're one of the many health-related organizations and hospital groups that got in bed with Obama early on....
....the sum total of this is if you get your health insurance at work, your company can dump you into the exchange and more than likely will. It should have started in January. It's been delayed. They can't do it yet, but they're really thinking about it, and now Kaiser Health News is writing about it trying to make their subscribers think they're gonna come to the rescue and find a way out of this. You thought you were safe, and you aren't. So that's the manipulation here that is taking place.

I’m very well acquainted with the new head writer for Kaiser Health News. Just the nicest, sweetest woman you would ever want to meet. Very kind. Always laughing. A big well-intentioned oblivious liberal who makes a LOT of money, lives in an upscale suburb of DC, and has no reality contact at all, at all. No application of logic can persuade her that Obamacare is not a catastrophe. I was warning her five years ago that it was going to be a cluster. I had the data. She just giggled.

There already is a single-payer system for some people:It’s called the VA.And it’s awful.
