"The Unintended" .....Obamacare......

The unintended consequences of Obamacare are coming thick and fast (and not just from tin-foil-hat-wearing blogsmainstream media, or political party ignorance). This time it is UPS, who announced that due to the higher costs under Obamacare will drop 15,000 spouses from its health insurance plan. As CNN reports, an internal document obtained by Kaiser Health News said the policy will apply to non-union US workers (saving what is expected to be a $60 million rise in costs). More 'anecdotal evidence'... UPS justified its move by saying that 35% of companies intend to do the same thing

  1. It's perfect Hiegellian Dialectic. The predetermined final resolution is single payer and we keep presenting the antithesis to each step until we are cornered with what they wanted in the first place.

    It's like Corky from Life Goes On playing chess with Bobby Fisher.

    ...and WE are Corky!

    1. You cannot have a single payer for a number of reasons.
      1. we as a country cannot afford it. Perhaps a consumption tax to finance it. No that won't work as the left would never agree to it.

      2. The government would have to administer it. When has the government ever done anything well with the exception of spending?

      3. The assumption is there would be an adequate number of doctors, facilities to accommodate the mass number of new people seeing a doctor to take care of their cold.

    2. You mean we cannot have a 'functional' single payer? I agree. But I also think that all of this Marxist crapola has a far more sinister motive. So it's useful to their ends.

    3. Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

  2. Say hello to a massive underground healthcare industry.

  3. UVA is also dropping spouses.

    these were all known consequences. But the admin was willing to put up with higher premiums, higher uninsured, fewer full time jobs, because this was a necessary move to get to singlepayer.

    1. Right. So instead of proving Obamacare can't work, we should be diverting the conversation off the tracks that lead directly to single payer.

      Part of the new conversation must be the fact that the government does not inherently posses "healthcare" and therefore it shouldn't have any say in how that finite resource is doled out.

      At least at the federal level...

      I know it's old rehash, but its time for everyone to get on board with completely neutering Uncle Sam. This time is NEVER different.

    1. That used to be true until we got a ruler who doesn't really care about stuff like that or separation of powers. He is a wanna dictator, in fact he would like to rule the world.It will never happen though, the world thinks Obama is a narcisistic coward.
