Do you honestly believe that the United States is going to be destroyed by healthcare reform? I feel bad for you if so, because you obviously have little faith in your country.
Here you go;
The congress didn't read the bill, obama didn't read the bill, the media ignored what was in the bill;
The health care overhaul will cost U.S. companies billions and make them more likely to drop prescription drug coverage for retirees because of a change in how the government subsidizes those benefits.
Figuring out what it will mean for retirees will take longer, but analysts said as many as 2 million could lose the prescription drug coverage provided by their former employers, leaving them to enroll in Medicare's program.
Consumers Energy, a Michigan gas and electric company with 2.9 million customers, said it will not take a big first-quarter charge because, like most utility companies, it can try to recover the added costs from its customers through rate hikes.
Of course we know why the media is just finding out this stuff.

Pay up, suckers! YOU'RE going to pay for companies' increased costs.
A large trucking company just announce yesterday that they cannot afford the HC of their employees and have decided to close down, the owner said he is going to take his cash and retire thanks to ObamaScare.
Another 250 truck drivers out of a job. 30 Mechanics, 50 dock workers, maintenance workers, secretaries etc.
More then 400 jobs gone thanks to the party of HELL NO ran by ObamaScam.
Sad we are allowing Obama to do what his plan was laid out to do.
Destroy us financially.
And who else wanted to destroy us financially? Think about it, Obama is carrying out someone else's ideas.

circumventing the tax system????? Bet you don't have any Ag equipment to buy! These cost increases will hit you at the grocery store.......
We'll feel it at the market, for sure.
Don't forget the price tags on JD lawn mowers and other lawn maintenance equipment. Prices will go up and shoppers will look elsewhere -- for cheap equipment made in *drum roll* China.
When all is said and done, I wonder how many jobs this will cost?

It's is all in Osama Bin OBama's plan, to bankrupt us all so we have to beg the government for help.
You understand this means LAYING OFF workers. I assume you are not unemployed. I have been unemployed and the job market has gotten worse since this bill was passed. Why should JOB CREATORS be punished? Do you want to be poor? Do you want to be on welfare? Do you want to be homeless? I am guessing the answer is no. If you don't want to be homeless, then why do you want the millions of unemployed in this country to be homeless? Liberals just don't think about things.
That's because the logic gene doesn't live in liberals. They're too busy making decisions based on emotion and drumming up every sad, sob story as the operatus mundi.
Some taxes kick in on signature of the bill and others kick in after 12/31/2010.
Companies have to start removing from profits for future taxes way ahead of time. They don't operate like individuals and wait until the last minute.
From the article:
"The world's largest construction equipment manufacturer by sales, warned last week that provisions in the legislation would subject the company to federal income taxes on the subsidies it receives for providing prescription drug benefits for its retirees and their spouses. "
Maybe they should just forgo the subsidies. Can't have it both ways.
For too long companies have gotten all kinds of tax breaks that have enabled their CEOs, etc. to take home millions of dollars per year while employee wages have stagnated or dropped.
Enough with the corporate welfare already.
