How many other businesses like these two will suffer massive expenses like this? How soon will slashing jobs follow?
Well, there's goes those mid-western jobs. So much for bringing jobs back to Michigan. ....oh wait, that was just campaign rhetoric.

Yep, by shifting production overseas where they aren't subject to the predatory tax policies of this country.

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.

Why is it so difficult to grasp that companies do not pay taxes? I own two businesses, neither of which pays a penny in tax. All we do is collect it from YOU on behalf of the government via our services! Do you really think myself, or any business owner is just going to eat thousands(or millions) of dollars because of a new tax? Prices will be raised accordingly, and never doubt that for a second.

Lets see.
Every state that has tried Universal H.C. has see it double or triple or more from there original cost estimates.
Sooooo this H.C. is suppose to cost 900 billion or so?...Hmmmm double/triple oh boy......a few trillion over budget guaranteed,so yes this country can be destroyed....We already have no cash.

Your post shows how lost you really are!

Of course it is ... and it will be the "insured employees" that will be paying, either through benefit cutbacks or increased premiums or both.

With that being said, let me ask you .. "How's all of that Hope and Change working for you these days?" ...

Best of luck to you when you open your next insurance bill .. you might want to be sitting down when you open it, because the "change" will most likely cause you to lose a bit of your "hope" ..

Haha... ooohh, the humor.. I dont know if I can stop laughing today.

While costs are passed onto the consumer, what happens when you have to raise your prices to the point that its cheaper for your consumer to buy your product from another country?
