The intended consequences of horrible liberal ideas.

The Obamacare debacle will be front and center in just a little while. The dems/libs have a $125 Million dollar campaign to defend the legislation.

Quote:
This market’s limited-benefit plans, also called mini-med plans, are priced low because they can, among other things, restrict the number of covered doctor visits or impose a maximum on insurance payouts in a year. The plans are commonly offered by retail or restaurant companies to low-wage workers who cannot afford more expensive, comprehensive coverage.
Instead, the dems/libs/obama have to dictate to the nation the minimum HC package that can be offered - even those most of those people are perfectly happy with paying a lower premium for the services they get.

Now, it looks like they will be out on the tails in September, a short month or two before the election.

Either the premiums will sky rocket and the million who have the coverage will be unable to afford it, or the employers will drop them completely.

See, this is all deliberate - the path to single payer is the destruction of the private insurers.

Gotta start somewhere - might as well start with those who are the most vulnerable.

"We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in the bill."

Way to go, Nancy!!!

Another blow to the public is going to be the additional "income" they will find on their 2011 W-2's when their company paid health insurance premiums will show up. That means higher income tax, peeps.

Quote:
Other requirements, such as reporting the value of health coverage in W-2 income beginning in 2011, take effect next year while other key changes are phased in gradually over the next eight years.
