Businesses must now provide FREE products.....the Obama administration is giving a whole new meaning to the concept of a “command economy".......what'll be next....?

The proposed “accomodation” [re the contraceptive mandate] shifts the obligation from employers to their insurance providers, who must cover those products and services “free” — that is, without charge to the covered employees or in the costs of the plan to the employer.

Thus we now learn that the highly controversial “individual mandate” at the heart of Obamacare to buy a commercial product is not alone. It has now been joined by what may the first corporate mandate to give away a product for free in American history. “There is simply no precedent for the government ordering private companies to offer a product for free,” as the Wall Street Journal noted today in an editorial.

If this “accommodation” stands, we are likely to see many more mandates, both corporate and individual. Why stop with the insurance companies? Why not, for starters, require the pharmaceutical companies to provide pills free of charge? Why not require doctors to provide free birth control-related treatment? Why not, for that matter, require home builders to provide free homes to the homeless?

I want my company offered health insurance to only cover stubbed toes, thus saving me and the company lots of money. Maybe Mr Obama can force the insurance company to cover everything else for "free".

Do you have an objective source for this?

Except for a subjective blog post linking an equally subjective and hysterical WSJ editorial, I’m not finding any factual analysis that companies will be forced to give away free cars, computers, or toaster ovens.

Designed in fact.

yep the whole Obamacare package was designed to take over about one fifth of our economy and put it under the thumb of the leftist elite.....being the socialist he is Obama does not realize that command economies don't work.....especially when you start mandating freebies....:cuckoo:

Dammit, does that mean my future healthcare won't be free? <sarcasm intended>

Mussolini called it corporatism. In the common vernacular, this was the methodology of the National Socialists of Germany circa 1928 to 1945
 
I thought this was the dating men thread and I could meet some of the available female posters.

My mistake.
