"A former longtime advisor to President Barack Obama predicted Wednesday that the employer mandate — a key piece of Obamacare — will not survive.

It was among several predictions Robert Gibbs, former White House press secretary, had for the future of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in a speech at the 2014 Benefits Selling Expo.

“I don’t think the employer mandate will go into effect. It’s a small part of the law. I think it will be one of the first things to go,” he said to a notably surprised audience."

And with that, Gibbs reveals the true goal of Obamacare... to shift health care insurance costs away from employers/corporations, and onto individuals themselves.

Pay up, suckers!!!

Oh, and enjoy the significant reduction to your spendable income.

Interesting. I would not be surprised in the least if this came true. This law was written in favor of the health insurance industry and now the corporations want their piece of the pie. Too bad the individual citizens will be the ones on the hook.

Too many individuals got greedy and were suckered by Obama's and the Dems' false promises. Anyone really surprised?

I hope Gibbs is right. That way more and more Americans will begin to support the idea of a single payer, Medicaid for all system.

Of course it won't survive.

It goes against the profit margins of corporate America.

How many super pacs does the working class have?

So, you mean the Democrats and Obama lied about the ACA? Wow, what a shocker.

The crooks in the administration and the Democrat Party don't know how to do anything BUT lie.

I hope this is the case as well. The faster we get to single payer, the better.

It's basically the one and only reason I'm optimistic for Hillary's inevitable administration.
