Here ya go all you Obamacare fans...one of literally thousands of companies already preparing for it. Of course, only the big companies are showing up in articles. I've read dozens. This one happens to be national, so I thought I'd post it...

WOW! Exactly what's going to happen as well as other crazy things if Obama gets re-elected.Originally Posted by RhythmDawg
It isn't what is going to happen. It is happening right now. We are seeing dozens of companies, even here in North Louisiana, already making changes. Crap, one of the business of which I am associated just received our renewal this week that included a 20% increase. I know of three businesses in Monroe (found out about 2 this morning), each with over 500 employees, that are planning on closing their doors in 2014 because Obamacare will add between $900,000 and $2million to their costs, depending on which business is referenced. That is 2,000+ Monroe citizens that will be unemployed.
The cost of HC insurance has already gone up! The first hit was in Jan, or maybe early Feb, 2009. Later there was another slightly smaller increase. These two were across the board increases. Now, other plans, depending on who you have, have also ticked up some over the past 4 years.
Today, right now, 150 million Americans are covered by private, company-supplied health insurance. If obummer gets re-elected, about 15 million people will lose health insurance the next day. Then, who knows what the other companies will do. But one has to assume many (most? all!!?) will follow suit and also drop the health insurance plans. Why not? Why endure all that extra cost, especially if foreign competitors already don't have it, and then your domestic competitors also drop it? A company wishing to "do the right thing" will be at an extreme competitive disadvantage...short term. One can assume, any company(s) that maintain health coverage for its employees could, in time, attract and retain the very best that field offers. But, that would take time to shake out, and that firm may already have lost significant market share, and/or no longer exist.
An obummer re-election will mark the end of the world as we know it.
It just keeps getting piled high and deeper. Not to mention weirder by the minute.

These are the same people that invested the better part of 8 years calling Bush and other republicans liars over the Patriot Act, Iraq, Gitmo, etc. It's nice watching them squirm and writhe around while the get a taste of their own medicine.
but think of the childrens....

What a whopper of a lie by Biden!!! Gee, what's 4 American lives any way Joe huh? And he threw US Intel under the bus on this one but believes them on Iran. Disgusting!!
Biden contradicts State Department on Benghazi security...
What are you talking about? Ryan cut embassey security by $300 million. Why don't you blame him for the lack of security for our embassey folks?
"All roads lead to Putin" -- Thomas Jefferson
Stop lying.
OMG.....seriously?
"Ryan cut...." He did? Really? There was NO BUDGET passed, again, for the 4th straight year (unconstitutional, BTW), and therefore another "continuing resolution" was issued. I know you are clueless what this all means. In a nutshell, the budget for all line items, including embassy security is the same as it was last year, which, with the automatic increase, was the same as the previous year, and so on. There has been NO CUTS to any budgets. That's why the deficit and the debt keeps growing.
Second point, it is still up to the Admin to allocate resources as needed. Fact is, the obummerites ignored requests to beef up security at Benghazi and now 4 Americans are dead because of it. Their blood is on the hands of all of you libtards.
The moron in the WH pretty much had them lined up and shot.
Here's one I got asked to address while serving on a panel discussion on Monday night:
"The U.S. spends more than any other country, and is the 37th healthiest." These statistics are used by politicians to claim that the quality of healthcare is disproportionate to the cost. It is not.
There are five determining factors in this calculation.Once these statistics were collected, the World Health Organization combined them into two summary rankings. One, called "overall attainment," is the basic weighted average of these five factors. The other, called "overall performance," takes that number and adjusts it for how well a country's health system was doing compared to how well WHO's experts believed it should be doing based on education level and economic resources. By that measure, the US is 15th out of 191 countries.
- Health Level, as defined by a measure of life expectancy, shows how healthy a country's population is. This factor gets a 25% weight.
- Responsiveness, which includes factors such as speed of health services, privacy protections, choice of doctors, and quality of amenities. This factor gets a 12.5% weight.
- Financial Fairness, which measures how progressive or regressive the financing of a country's health care system is - that is, whether or not the financial burdens are borne by those who are economically better off. This factor receives a 25% weight.
- Health Distribution, which measures how equally a nation's health care resources are allocated among the population. This factor receives a 25% weight.
- Responsiveness Distribution, which measures how equally a nation's health care responsiveness is spread through society. This factor gets a 12.5% weight.
We have the number 1 system in the world regarding the combination of capabilities, quality, education, and technology. The financial model and delivery model are what is broken. The issue with health is not medicine. And the often quoted "costs" of healthcare in this country are NOT representative of the true costs of medicine in this country. Fixing the finanical model will fix the delivery model, and will ultimately raise those rankings into the top 3. It's the backwards financial model that is currently dragging them down.
