ObamaCare Hits Small Business Hard in Gloomy '15
Are there any honest libs out there who will Obama lied, that Obamacare will kill jobs, shorten hours for those with jobs, well, just read below.

Tom, do you still have low opinions of people who you feel mistate things? How do you feel about outright liars?

And Tom, don't you find it strange that any democrat running for prez in 2016 will almost certainly need to campaign on dumping or totally revamping Obamacare?

Quote:Red Tape: With businesses' one-year reprieve from financial penalties under ObamaCare ending, the horror stories of complying with the costly health care law already are trickling in. The worst is yet to come.

ObamaCare Hits Small Business Hard in '15

Starting Jan. 1, employers with 100 or more full-time workers face hefty increases in their health insurance costs as they comply for the first time with the mandate.

They must now offer the government's comprehensive coverage — including "free" preventive care — for all employees working 30 or more hours a week, or risk being fined $2,000 per employee per year.

But many of these small businesses are retailers that don't have the kind of margins where they can cover workers and still stay in business.

Many grocers and restaurants have opted to pay the fine rather than swallow the larger cost of buying coverage for all workers. Others are cutting back worker hours to duck the law altogether.

Universal health care is hardly "free," and its costs hit both employees and customers hard. Service companies — including even garbage collectors — are passing on the added cost to customers in the form of higher bills.

Take God Bless the USA, a trash collection company outside Charlotte, N.C. It recently notified customers that it's raising prices 5% to help cover expenses.

"Due to the Affordable Care Act, effective Jan. 1, 2015, we are obligated to provide health care coverage to all of our employees," it explained in a Dec. 5 letter. "Unfortunately, we are unable to internalize this cost and are sorry we have to pass this cost on to you."

Requirements under ObamaCare tighten in 2016, when smaller firms employing 50 to 99 full-time workers also have to offer coverage or face fines.

A few small businesses in Michigan that did offer employee-sponsored health coverage are now preparing to stop next year, says Michigan Group Benefits, an East Lansing-based insurance agency.

Why? Sticker shock from the pricier ACA-compliant policies, which provide everything from "free" mammograms to colonoscopies.

Blue Cross Blue Shield and other insurers have stopped allowing businesses to renew policies that aren't compliant with ObamaCare. In their place, they're offering plans with 14% to 45% rate increases, the National Association of Health Underwriters says.

Though employers with fewer than 50 workers are exempt from mandates, they too are feeling ObamaCare's pain.

Kaiser Permanente already has sent cancellation letters to such employers, explaining that their existing plans don't offer ObamaCare's richer benefits and therefore are no longer available.

Some two-thirds of the 31 million employees who work for such firms and get health insurance from them could receive similar cancellation notices over the next year.

When the president signed ObamaCare in 2010, he promised it would "lower costs for families and for businesses." As it turns out, neither is true.

Obama will waive Obamacare in 2016, just for the presidential election.

Obama Health Care Adviser Warned WH In 2009 Obamacare Will Not Be Affordable…

[Image: 15p0l7o.jpg]

Not like the Obama regime cares about costs.

Quote:President Obama’s health care adviser Jonathan Gruber said that the Affordable Care Act would definitely not be affordable while he was writing the bill with the White House.

As Gruber continues to withhold documents while he awaits a call-back for more testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in the new year, more shocking information is coming to light detailing the deceptions that went into the writing of the health-care law.

Gruber said that Obamacare had no cost controls in it and would not be affordable in an October 2009 policy brief, presented here exclusively by TheDC. At the time, Gruber had already personally counseled Obama in the Oval Office and served on Obama’s presidential transition team. Obama, meanwhile, told the American people that their premiums would go down dramatically.

“The problem is it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate; you can’t mandate insurance that’s not affordable. This is going to be a major issue,” Gruber admitted in an October 2, 2009 lecture, the transcript of which comprised the policy brief.

Yeah, let's wait. Just remember that the worst parts of this law were purposely delayed to give the architects more cover. They set it up like boiling a frog in a pot by slowly raising the heat, by the time the frog realizes he's boiling, it's too late.

That's where we will be when this law fully kicks in - screwed.

No, but they (and I presume you) voted in the Democrats who DID vote for it.
