“If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”

"United Parcel Service Inc. plans to remove thousands of spouses from its medical plan because they are eligible for coverage elsewhere. The Atlanta-based logistics company points to the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, as a big reason for the decision, reports Kaiser Health News.
The decision comes as many analysts are downplaying the Affordable Care Act’s effect on companies such as UPS, noting that the move reflects a long-term trend of shrinking corporate medical benefits, Kaiser Health News reports. But UPS repeatedly cites Obamacare to explain the decision, adding fuel to the debate over whether it erodes traditional employer coverage, Kaiser says."

This is nothing new. Many companies here will not cover spouses if the spouse can get coverage at his/her employer. I am surprised they ar jut now doing this.

Well if you did not realize then you should now- ACA does nothing but embolden large Insurance companies and their large corporate client base.
This act was never going to help the lower and middle class.
