Today we learn...

[Boca]

20,000 part time employees of a benevolent Home Depot that were offered a health plan subsidized by that evil corporation are being thrown to the government exchange wolves.

How many millions by now have discovered that if you like your health plan you can keep it was but another lie....and an obvious one?

How many other millions have discovered that that $2500 per family savings was a lie?

The real culprit here is the Chief Justice of Supreme Court John Roberts a Bush appointee!

Only questions remaining are who in the this snooping administration found the dirt on Roberts and can a Supreme Court justice be impeached for succumbing to blackmail?

 

[Dawg]

I hope so.........

friend had to do the same with his 24 employees, he had forever paid 100% of their HCI, then was then penalty (from who ?) had him paying 85%, yesterday he learned if he didn't drop HCI for employees he'd have to close the doors.......so now they must go to ObamaCare.............

 

[Dawg]

seems I read Walgreens have sent 160,000 to 'O' for HCI

Blackberry laying off 4,500.more for 'O'

so many following and not enough bandwidth.......

How many excuses do you think we will hear telling us why it wasn't exactly a "lie"? And yes. I blame John Roberts. He became spineless when it came to standing up for the people of America. He's a dirt bag.

So for 4yrs now you guy have been ranting about the ACA and you don't know that not only is this already paid for. It will actually lower the deficit.

The health care legislation signed into law in March 2010 is large in its scope - its coverage provisions will cost $800 billion over the next decade. This is paid for $500 billion in cuts elsewhere, as well as $400 billion in new taxes.

Do you know what a "mini-med" plan is? Those employees are going from a ripoff to real insurance. Let me know if you find evidence of anyone who currently works for Home Deport who is complaining.

The Cleveland Clinic, one of the nations best and most prominent medical institutions, just cut a ton of workers too...

No matter what the Obamacare supporters say as far as how it's going to work on paper, in reality it's killing jobs all over the country.

They have 44,000 employees. They have a $6 billion annual budget and they are cutting $330 million from that budget. They have not said how many employees they may cut...so where did you get a "ton of workers"? They are cutting jobs and budget because they say they'll be reimbursed less under medicare. Are you in favor of unlimited payments under Medicare? Sure thing, Doc....$99 for an aspirin? Ok.

St. Anthony's here in Denver just expanded. Maybe those workers can just more elsewhere to a hospital that has better management.

Dawg,

Keep you VA benefits intact buddy. I just got a letter from them that stated that Obie care does not affect my VA medical care.

Citing Obamacare, Cleveland Clinic to Cut $300M, Warns of Layoff
Spokesperson says aim is to 'keep care affordable.'

Administrators at the Cleveland Clinic announced on Wednesday that the health care giant would be cutting as much as $300 million from its 2014 budget, and that the cuts will likely include layoffs.
"Health care reform has really changed things, and the burden of cost is going to be falling on patients," spokeswoman Eileen Shiel told The Plain Dealer. "We want to make sure we can keep care affordable."

And mid, they aren't the only ones:

The Cleveland Clinic isn't alone in cutting costs and trimming its workforce in the face of health care reform. On Wednesday, Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio, confirmed that it was trimming $8.2 million from its budget by laying off 58 workers this week, cutting back the hours for 46 more, and opting not to fill 132 open positions, mostly through attrition. In February, Akron General Health System laid off 132 employees and cut 118 other positions. In 2011, University Hospitals announced $100 million in cuts over two years, and MetroHealth Medical Center laid off 450 people by cutting $30 million and closing a 144-bed skilled nursing facility.
"This has become the new normal," Sheil said. "This has been a conversation that's been ongoing, not just at the Cleveland Clinic but nationally."

But let me guess, you're going to say they all don't know what they are talking about and blame it on them, as they must not be good at business or are poorly managed...

Correct?

Have you asked yourself why a hospital would be adversely affected by the affordable care act? Did you read where the one hospital is concerned that they'll make less money from Medicare? Are you in favor of increasing or decreasing medicare costs?

I'm in favor of not imposing a health care act that scares the heck out of medical facilities enough to cut workers just to stay afloat and be ready..

I'd say they know quite a bit more about what is going to happen than you and I.

Oh, and no comment on all the medical facilities cutting in northeast Ohio alone.. and how they cited Obamacare as the reason?

Are they just "wrong"?

 

[GordonGecko]

Why would they do that?

Ted Cruz is going to destroy Obamacare this week, haven't they heard????

VA benefits? Isn't that listed under "government entitlements"? And is seems to work, if you want to keep it, no?

...not saying all the vets do not deserve it, quite the contrary - but they use it, it works and is better than no coverage -
