Oh thank God! I was waiting for someone to share the good news! It's all going to be ok! Whew!!

I thought exchanges not being setup, employers getting a waiver, some folks not being able to stay with their doctors, the huge rate increase across the board, part timers getting their hours cut, the President asking Hollywood to help him sell IdiotCare et al' was a problem.

But! After reading your article from Numb nuts liberal friends I realize it is all going to be ok!

Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!! We are saved!! Saved buy a community organizer who doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground let alone how to lead what was the greatest nation in the world until he took office a destroyed it in a short 6 years.

Sure they are thinking that. Maybe you would care to see the review that I just got where out of 8 categories I got 5 stars and the rest were 3 or 4 stars.

They are cutting due to the cost associated with Obamacare. Only a person with his head firmly implanted in his nether-regions would see it otherwise.

Isn't that the goal behind out-sourcing, elimination of pensions to 401Ks, nursing is famous for PT work to avoid benefits... Teacher Aides... etc. I am grandfathered into my pension (global corporation), but the year I retired early the game changed for all new hires and those not vested. A large technology company in the PNW doesn't offer "pensions", and I was told (yes hearsay - so could be wrong) they don't offer medical plans to retired employees - you are on your own. The person telling me this was a cancer survivor and concerned he would not find insurance after retirement because of his medical history. The point is, business here has been trimming costs for years by eliminating benefits and if they can use Obamacare as an excuse (real or not), they will. IMHO.

Whatever keeps the illusion working for you progs. I'll bet you thought Obama's speech at Knox college was wonderful and fact-filled too, eh?

That is what happens when our government produces thousands and thousands of new laws and regulations each year, they slowly strangle the golden goose, and now we are borrowing trillions to cover up the death throes of the near-dead goose.... and what is Obama's answer? More regulations, and squeeze that throat even harder.

This is about fat checks going to the CEOs of the mult-nationals, and staying afloat for the small business folks........this ain't about Obamacare......Obamacare is just a smokescreen.
Hey a voice of reason. These sheep want to hate Obama soo baad that common sense eludes them

Yeah right. That kool aid you are drinking must be delicious I am sure you got that review in one of your favorite magnets on your fridge. Keep thinking how wonderful you are as a worker and blame Obamacare for your troubles. Tough looking in the mirror. Or having to figure things out on your own
