Yep, thanks to that peice of shit bill that was rammed down our throats by Nancy Pelosi and then approved by Obama many are now speculating that most companies will drop the employer provided healthcare plans and make the workers fend for themselfs.

This isn't just the Republicans that are saying this, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (A DEMOCRAT) said; "The economics of dropping existing coverage is about to become very attractive to many employers, both public and private," as the governments new healthcare plan is going to undermine employer health coverage.

Tennessee Gov. Bredesen (D) said last week that employers could save big money by dropping their health plans and sending workers to buy coverage in the exchange. They'd face a fine of $2,000 per worker, but that's still way less than the cost of providing health insurance. Employers could even afford to give workers a raise and still come out ahead, Bredesen wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

Employers are actively looking at that. "I don't know if the intent was to find an exit strategy for providing benefits, but the bill as written provides the mechanism," said Deloitte's Keckley, the consultant.

End Quote.

Now given the FACTS, I think it's quite plain to see that this new FLAWED healthcare plan is sure to cause many folks to be stuck dealing with finding insurance on their own. Not only that many healthcare plans have jumped 50% in cost due to the uncertianty of the new tax on Cadillac plans slated to start in the year 2018.

So tell us all again PowerStroker, how great them Democrats are again. Clearly the Democrats rushed something thru, as always, and the American people are going to be the ones to pay. Yet they still have the gull to claim they are for the working class Americans!?
