Volkswagen.Oh, excuse me, Keys. I was not aware that universal health care is a NAZI concept. Consider me educated, now. And, that probably applies to my brother's BMW as well, so I will tell him to get rid of it immediately.
Volkswagen is a Nazi concept. Keep the BMW.
And yet again: conservatives are at liberty to repeal the ACA provided they replace it with something that realizes the same results. Returning to conditions prior to the Act is not an option.
The only thing wrong with it is Pub and crony insurer obstruction of it and not waiting for full implementation before fear mongering the chumps. What's wrong with transparent competition again?
The rise in actual premiums for 2015 is 5.9 %.
Everyone needs coverage and preventive care, no more irresponsible freeloaders.
The hypocrisy of Pubs fighting this Pub plan is incredible.
UACA (unaffordable care act) sucks.
Funny how everyone expects the GOP to fix Obamacare. The Dems had their heads firmly up their asses when they passed it and still don't know what the hell is in it. But they've already blamed the disaster on Republicans because they didn't help the idiots write it.
As a democrat, and as a health insurance professional who spent 50 years in the business, I don't really care if the GOP "fixes" ACA or not. Frankly, I am making a mint on health insurance company stock since 2008. As an industry insider, I am delighted that my old job of turning people down who applied for health insurance is now illegal. However, the democrats do expect the GOP to "Fix" ACA, because we consider it a huge step up from the old system, where people routinely died, for being uninsurable and therefore could not pay for a bypass operation or lung transplant. That being the case, it is up to ACA's critics to "fix" what we consider a comparatively successful law. The GOP is, in fact, the ones who think that it needs "fixing" the most. I am pretty sure that the GOP would not like our idea of "Fixing" ACA. I would have simply lowered the age of Medicare eligibility to the date of birth.
Oh COOL! So you've testified that you spent 50 years in the Health Insurance game... Would ya be so good as to take a moment and explain to the board the purpose of Insurance? How it works and why obamacare is not feasible?
I ask because you claimed that you spent 50 years in the business, then gloated that 'the business' was being forced to do what it cannot do and remain in business... expressing your joy over the mint ya made on stock which must now, inevitably, collapse. So I'm getting some mixed signals and would really appreciate some clarification.
Well, as I wait for my stock to collapse, I am, in Liberace's words, "crying all the way to the bank."
Perhaps, you can explain why every industrialized nation on earth provides medical care on a universal basis, other than the USA? I don't give a rat's ass whether it is call "insurance" or "socialized medicine", if that is your hang up. My career was to turn down applications for health insurance for people who were going to cost the company more than they paid to the company. The end result of that was a lot of dead people. In fact, I sometimes received photographs of children who had died for lack of the money to fix a congenital hole in the heart, among other things. It was their parents way of telling me to fuck off, and I don't blame them. I know. Canada and Mexico, for example have terrible health care, right? So how come I cross the border on a regular basis to buy affordable prescription drugs and dental care in Nogales? Have you ever hear of a man from the United Kingdom coming to America to get better health care? If so, link, please. I fell off my motorcycle 2 months ago. The bill for ambulance, emergency room, x-ray and cat scan was $7,788.00. My HMO paid $813, with the contractual provision that they could not balance bill me. My copay was $345. Amount still due=$0. If I had not been insured, the hospital would have taking me to collections for $7,788. What a wonderful system we have had all these years!
So... despite a professed 50 years of experience working IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS... you're telling this board that you've ABSOLUTELY NO MEANS TO EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF INSURANCE?
Now... you should know that THAT is, quite literally: IMPOSSIBLE.
Guess what that tells us?
Go ahead... guess.
Ok, I was hoping to avoid personal observations, but if you insist.
It tells me that you are an undereducated jerk with a radical right wing agenda who does not know jack shit about a business in which I spent 50 years at mid to high level management.
Obama has delayed it's implementation.

He has only delayed part of its implementation.

True... now I wonder why the design of the law delays implementation of the most destructive aspects of the law, until obama is GONE?
What are the chances that THAT shows that obama knows that the law is destructive and that his intention is to dump the blame for the destruction on his political opposition?
My position is that obamaScare is economic sabotage, OKA: treason.
True. It will result in many more. The math is simple. Companies will do better dumping employees on the exchanges where the lower paid ones will get subsidies for new policies than by keeping their old systems. The penalties will be less than the expected premiums. It's pretty simple. Except if you're stupidThe employer mandate, to which you were obviously making a reference, kicks in next year. I've already explained several times on this forum why you tards who think it will result in 93 million people being disenrolled from grandfathered plans are wrong.g5000
When do all the provisions of OBAMACARE kick in?
What will happen when the employer mandate kicks in next year? anyone have any ideas?
Surely Obama wouldn't have delayed this provision for purely political reasons, right?
I've already explained several times what will happen. Many employers who are not providing insurance will start to provide it to their employees. Other employers who do not meet the minimum standards of the ACA will improve the insurance they provide to their employees.
The reason Obama delayed it is because doing those things takes more time than was initially understood. Congress knew this, but chose not to extend the deadline.
They had no problem extending the Bush tax cut expiration deadline, though. Kosh seems to think extending deadlines is hard to do. It isn't. It is a political choice whether or not to do it. The mechanics of it are very simple.
The GOP chose not to extend the deadline so they could force a crisis. THERE are your "purely political reasons", tard.
Need to reorder your Obama kneepads

Frank, you cheap slut: I hear you been making nicey nice with bulldog and G5000. I won't have it, you hear?
You are a brainwashed ignorant moron, and believe all RW propaganda, even Nazis'...Volkswagen.Oh, excuse me, Keys. I was not aware that universal health care is a NAZI concept. Consider me educated, now. And, that probably applies to my brother's BMW as well, so I will tell him to get rid of it immediately.
Volkswagen is a Nazi concept. Keep the BMW.
Socialist concept... Volkswagen was a socialist concept, built by the Nazis, The National Socialist Worker's Party that governed socialist Germany in the 1930s and early to mid 40s, before Germany crashed and burned for the second time in 30 years.

Employers discontinuing healthcare because their employees can get better coverage at a better price on the exchanges. Sounds like a win for everybody. Thanks for you hard work getting us the availability of reasonably priced healthcare Mr. President Well done.

Employers with 50 or more full time employees can't cancel the health insurance. Or they have to pay an employer shared responsibility payment on their federal income taxes at the end of the year.
Small business with less than 50 full time employees get subsidies from the government to pay for the insurance for their employees.
So there's no incentive or any way for employers to cancel the employee insurance.
