Basically your thinking is binary. Liberal, or not liberal. And it's not good to be on the bad side of that call...
People here are accusing Obamacare of forcing UPS to change spousal coverage policy,
implying that this example is proof that Obama lied when he said you could keep your healthcare.
That is not true. UPS is not ending some spousal coverage for the sake of a few bucks charge associated with ACA,
they could collect that from the spouse, as many companies already do and already did before Obamacare.
UPS is ending spousal coverage because covering an extra person not employed by UPS, an d especially since that person has access to his or her own employer plan,
is a cost that UPS wants to get rid of.
UPS did not say it is only Obamacare, but they did say that Obamacare was a factor along with rising medical costs.
You also in several posts said it wasn't Obama's fault my rates are going up because Obama didn't set the rate, not grasping I was pointing out that Obama's regulations are driving up costs, which is what I was blaming for higher prices. You and i have also had the discussion frequently before where you didn't grasp that if a company's costs go up, their prices will too. It wasn't just this comment.
Well, at least you've made a few backtracking baby steps.
Why wasn't your policy eligible to be grandfathered in?
