It occurs to me that the people who hate America are actually YOU. It is what it is folks. The America you think you want doesn't exist and perhaps never existed. Get over it already.

Anecdotal, but we have implemented an HRA combined with the private benefit exchanges and seen savings + success in insuring more employee's. They are also seeing finally what the real cost of health insurance is. We were profitable enough to provide this additional benefit to employee's. Many production employee's are getting right around what we would pay in penalties on them anyways (2,000/year). However, our older professional staff have allowances as much as $500.00 per month based on length of service (you can design it based on length of service or job title).

I don't support the law at all, but it was a business decision to benefit our employee's with something real (previously had limited medical).

This decision will definitely have future ramifications for us all as we complete our transformation into the ultimate nanny state.

I believe you will also see alot more discrimination in hiring because of the law due to the penalties for having a spouse with no insurance that must be paid by the other spouses employer. It is a ****ed up mess.

Also if a family is getting the subsidy as an employer you may have to pay a $3,000 penalty for that employee. The subsidy begins at 88,000 for a family FYI.

This will definitely be a job killer. The fortune 500's will love it though, because they can drop all benefits and shift it onto uncle sam uncle the bubble pops.

What a cluster.

"Did anybody else sit straight up when the Court gave, as an illustration of an "obvious" application of Congress' taxing power, a tax on people who don't have energy efficient windows in their homes?"

Yes I sure did, can a future government mandate everyone buy a hybrid car, or can a future right wing government mandate everyone purchase an "assault weapon" I don't think the ruling was very well thought out.

The reaction to this decision proves most people still believe in magic. They think it's possible to control sociopaths by reciting incantations from a 223 year old piece of paper.

"Don't worry", they tell themselves, "all we have to do is find the right spell and cast it in front of people wearing enchanted robes and everything will get better."

I admit that getting the implant hurt a little bit. But once it's done and you're sewed up and sent home, everything settles down. And you feel fine, just fine. Believe you me, it's all going to be alright people. Quit stewing about it. You'll see what I mean...

If it's true that "assault weapons" are "weapons of war" and don't belong on the streets of America, why do the police need them? Who are the police at war with?

See, Obama & the Donks LOVE Amerixa, which is why they shoved a giant tax donkey dick up Amerixa's *******. Including all those peasants making under $250,000 a year, to whom The Great One said:

Quote:
"I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."


See, Low, it's Amerixa haters like you who were doing the whole Joe Dirt "No, ow" thingee (when Oblabme was getting ready to "love" his under-250K subjects) who need to "get over it". It's constitutional. Bitches.

I think that the .Gov should ENACT A LAW that MANDATES MrGone copulate 10 different people a day—

It will be good for the community — rght?— it has many health benefits— surely you are willing to provide this service to the community Mrgone.....for the "Greater Good"

I mean, you wouldn't ask a DR. to perform an act on a person they didn't want to perform unless YOU were willing to perform acts on others you weren't so willing to perform yourself——right? —— RIGHT????
