All part of the plan – but it really doesn’t matter – “President for Life” B. Hussein’O will take care of everything.

I agree with a lot of that.

What’s always confused me, is how Barry could put this forth while complicating the crap out of entrepreneurship.

I mean, I know why – god forbid if you foster individualism – but he could have sailed on most of his programs if he leveraged them against huge breaks for startups on all levels.

I don’t see how cause/effect doesn’t crush most of 0Care in the end.

Yeah, they system we know will no longer be, but the lawsuits have already begun on the larger theoretical issues.

So consider what happens upon application.

Hell, we can’t even get there without dozens of waivers and delays.

IMO, 0Care ends up being more a insurance issue, which we all would have supported, and a lot of the fangs either never sprout, or are pulled out state-by-state, lawsuit-by-lawsuit.

Consider: If we see a real and honest doctor shortage, one that is more than quantifiable, the blowback occurs on the progs lumpen base, first. If they suck it up, and settle for RN’s in WalMart’s, then they’ve reaped what they’ve sown.

I may personally think it’s sad, but the apostles never asked Christ, “But what if they don’t want to learn how to fish”?

Being down 800,000 jobs is bad enough but that isn’t the whole story. It’s also about the fact that full-time employment will become a rare commodity and now where people might have worked one full-time job they’ll be forced to work 2 or 3 part-time jobs to make ends meet and even part-time jobs will be hard to come by bcuz everyone will be competing for them and when it comes to jobs it has the effect of more supply and less demand and in this case will drive the price–salary–down. And for a short while longer I guess fed gubmint workers, teachers and other public employees will have their plum union full-time jobs with full benefits until tax revenues drop so significantly that they’ll be lucky to meet da’ gubmint payrolls.

I’m sure John Roberts has no trouble sleeping at night, knowing that he literally changed the course of a nation and condemned thousands to the unemployment line and premature death (compliments of the death panels).

If only somebody mentioned this three years ago….oh wait.

I believe the figures cited above are deemed “cadallac” plans, meaning,there will be an additional tax on them, unless the employer cuts back coverage. So, they screw you no matter what.

Most gaps like these tend to be smoothed out eventually because they’re politically untenable, which in this case probably either means exempting the first 50 employees or, uh, dropping the coverage mandate from 50 to 30. *shudder*

How long before it becomes illegal to fire someone without cutting your own salary first?

Brilliant. Then we’ll have small businesses across the country simply close up shop instead of dealing with this bureaucratic nightmare.
