Remember when Barack Obama took his place behind in front of the Teleprompter of the United States and declared, “Let me make this perfectly clear, if you like your current insurance plan, you will be able to keep it. If you like your current doctor, you will be able to keep him/her.” Well, as it turns out, not so fast. At least 1 in 8 among you will be soon forced out of your current plans and away from your current doctors. The truly ironic thing is this, not only is an overwhelming percentage of the American People against this sink hole of a law, and not only is it massively expensive and something we are learning on a daily basis that we are no where near being able to afford, and not only has it been found to be poorly written and hastily conceived, but it has the virtue of being declared unconstitutional in two Federal Courts already. I am not really sure how much it would actually save us if we nixed this new federal behemoth. I just made up a huge number since the CBO is somehow statutorily prohibited from supplying any actual or true figures anyhow. I would be willing to bet however, if we took this crap out of the realm of the law of the land, it would make the Reid and Boehner plans seem like the childish cuts in spending that they actually are.
Among the most striking of NFIB’s findings was the number of employer health insurance plans that have been or will be eliminated since PPACA’s passage — 12 percent, or one in eight. Eliminating employer health care plans “is the first major consequence of PPACA that small-business owners likely feel,” the report said.Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2011/07/25/study-1-in-8-employer-insurance-plans-getting-the-axe-since-obamacare/#ixzz1TKNDfF9Y
Of course the government lackeys are out there saying that it is way too early to be criticizing this law, as most of its wonderfulness hasn’t gone into effect yet. That’s right my friends, we will be getting little pieces of this monstrously expensive entitlement spending budget busting gem rolled out to us over the next decade. This is not a feature, but another piece of the, Nightmare on Pa. Ave., story which will be shouted out to us as we all stand around passing our time in soup lines. As another aside, since the CBO utilizes an accounting gimmick called baseline budgeting, it is entirely possible that the repeal of this law would produce a $10 Trillion savings off of the current budget picture. It could be much more, or much less. It all depends on how much oats the Washington owned Unicorns eat that day.
