Chances are you'll learn that your 2011 health insurance tab will be sharply higher, as companies continue to shift the burden of rising costs onto their workers.
Rising costs - a direct result of obamacare.

The cost of the plans are going up 3%. The employers are shifting the cost more to the employee. They have been doing that for years. Now, when the Employer is in the drivers seat, salaries and benefits are going to suffer. If there was a lot of competition for employees, that would not be the case.

You have no idea what you're talking about.Obamacare is modeled after Romneycare what we've had here in Mass. for 4 years now. I'd be thrilled if my policy only went up 3%,this year it went up 40%.Can't wait to see next years policy!

My husband and I own a business and cannot even consider hiring new employees at this time due to obama's healthcare and basic destruction of small businesses via taxes and more.

Healthcare is going to take a huge dive in this country. When are people going to wake up???

Jan 1, 2011 -- Minimum Medical loss ratios for insurers
Jan 1, 2011 -- Closing Medicare Drug Coverage Gap
Jan 1, 2011 -- 10% bonus for Medicare Primary Care Docs

That's a few of several things Jan 1. Here is a link to the timeline of implementation.

When you ask a question, be careful, you may get the answer whether it fits you bias or not.

We currently do not have to pay anything. Come 2013, we will be responsible for 100% of the cost, thanks to Obamacare.

I presume that means now you have no insurance and in 2013 you will have to purchase some. We will thank Obamacare for not having to pay for your care.
