Obamacare and the so called unintended consequences

[topazgalaxy]

How many times was the public told by the President that if people
liked their insurance they would be able to keep it? And how many town
hall meetings across the USA were there, with people who liked their
insurance very concerned that Obamacare would change that and they
were told "don't worry, you can keep your insurance if you like it."

Well, I hate to say "I told you so." But I saw this coming. I
already know of people who had their insurance changed by the
insurance company because of Obamacare

So did Obama lie, or was he just ignorant? Were all of his policy
advisors that ignorant?

Obamacare tends to punish companies who offer a high end health
plan with low cost to the patient. Hmm, why should that be?
Could it be Dr Emmanuel's concept of basic health care for all --
not great health care but basic-- is coming true?
(as I predicted)

The unintended consequences are just beginning

Obama gave the public his "guarantee" that if a person liked their insurance they could keep it and they could keep their doctor.

Aw, gee, the POTUS  clearly was wrong as the  government website  changes it's tune.

Now even three powerful unions are upset  with Obamacare as  employers  are cutting worker hours down to 29 hours a week so that the worker is part time and can be excluded from the health care coverage   requirement.  Not a surprise to me. 

But  the Prez gets to keep his insurance!

People may have to pay over 6000 a year for medicines and over 6000 a year for out of pocket costs,   so the 'caps' alot of folks depended on  are gone now at least for one year.

The consequences continue under Obamacare.

People in some markets are already losing the  insurance they liked.

and why not? The employer may feel he or she has to cover the worker but not their family members  unless it is a dependent up to age 26
