Most Americans receive healthcare insurance thru their employer and you are right most people like what they have.
don't get me wrong, I wish my health insurance covered more with less deductible, and out of pocket expense, but I think that can be achieved through opening up insurance being allowed to market across state lines, and opening up competition rather than top down dictates.
The AHC act builds on that and requires that companies over 50 employees offer health insurance so more people may get their insurance thru their employer.
And in the early going we are already hearing of companies doing what they can to avoid that by dropping their current employees below full time, or pairing back to under the 50 employees number, or simply dropping insurance coverage being offered now, and accepting the penalty. In all three cases it is screwing the working individual. Great Job Obamacare!
There are tax sudsidies and other incentives to reduce the costs to the employee and employer so they may comply with the law.
Some obscure write off I get to take at the end of the year, that may move my taxable income and net me back $100 more does little for me week to week. Have you noticed the price of gas, and groceries?
Over a billion dollars has already been returned to customers because of overpayment of premiums, jus tone of th ecost savings built into the plan.
Really? I haven't noticed jack ****! I think that is a rouse as well.
