#1 It us obvious that big business loves this obamacare (taxpayers paying the healthcare costs). Even businesses that want to keep their plans will eventually have to drop their coverage as competitors have lower cost structure. Imagine big retailers like Target trying to compete with wal-mart when the taxpayer pays for walmart healthcare costs for millions of employees.

Same thing happen when call centers went off shore. Either move off shore or go bankrupt.

#2 Anybody surprised by this should be ashamed. I talked with insurance guys a year ago who stated that companies will be forced to throw their workers onto the public exchanges.

President Obama promised that, under the Affordable Care Act, if you like your health plan, you can keep it.

And I thought that Slick Willy (good ol' boy #42) was a great liar. Obi wan Hussein has him hands down.
