How old are you?
Employers will compare the cost of paying higher premiums with the cost of paying the penalty. IN general paying the penalty will be cheaper, and their lower paid employees will qualify for subsidies anyway. Result: Lots of cancelled policies.
As I explained earlier, this is failed logic as can be seen by the fact that it has always been cheaper for employers to not provide insurance, and yet they have been providing it long before a mandate to do so.
And premiums have been climbing for decades, again long before the ACA. If employers drop their employees, it won't be because of the ACA, it will be because they would have dropped them regardless if there is an ACA or no ACA.
The mandate penalty actually makes it LESS cheaper to not provide insurance than it was before ObamaCare. Before ObamaCare there was
no penalty for dropping your employees due to the rising premiums we have been experiencing for decades.
What we will see is that some employers who currently do not provide insurance will start providing insurance because of the mandate, while some will choose to pay the penalty instead.
We certainly won't come anywhere close to approaching the 93 million disenrolled employees the more retarded hucksters have claimed we will see.
Your argument fails because employers are not responsible for rising premiums.
Rising premiums costs are ALWAYS the result of rising demand and low availability. Can't be any other way.
Add to that natural law, the separation of the end user of the product/service... from the cost associated with the delivery of the product and/or service and the costs of such MUST EXPLODE and will do so until it rises beyond the means of the market to sustain those costs.
What you geniuses are trying to do, is to extend the separation and SUBSIDIZE THE COSTS... maintaining them well beyond the means of the market to sustain those costs, which can only produce the result typical of policy spawned from your special genius... that which is known as: CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!
Now let's review the most recent experience wherein policy spawned by the 'feelings' of the Left sought to substitute the sound, actuarial lending principles with your own special perversion of 'fairness'.
If you'll recall, that policy resulted into the collapse of the international financial markets... which to this day continues to threaten of the financial viability of the United States.
Which given the 'special' genius of you on the Left, since that catastrophic failure... what did you people do? Ya elected a cult which managed to increase US Federal deficits to 1500 billion PER YEAR! Adding, since the collapse of the US economy... another 7 trillion dollars in direct US federal debt... doubling all of the debt incurred by the US since it's INCEPTION.
Now... here we are with you're dark plan to cripple 1/7th of the US Economy... even as the Fed sits on its annual trillions which is propping up the Equity and Debt Markets, inflating the currency to the edge of their means to imagine they 'control' it... all of which will itself drive up towards the point where the market can no longer sustain it... and...
Guess what happens THEN?
No Subsidies...
No Insurance...
No Currency...
No Social Security...
No Medicaid...
No Medicare...
No obamacare...
BRILLIANT!
