CODE RED: Government Healthcare Takeover Pushes Employers to Drop Employee Coverage
New Survey of Employers Shows ObamaCare Makes it Increasingly Difficult to Provide Insurance Coverage
Democrats Promised That Their Government Takeover Of Healthcare Would Not Drive Families Off Their Current Healthcare Plans:
“And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.” (Mary Lu Carnavale, “Obama: ‘If You Like Your Doctor, You Can Keep Your Doctor’,” The Wall Street Journal, 6/15/09)
But This New Survey Shows Employers Have Overwhelming Incentives From The Law To Simply Drop Health Coverage Altogether:
“The fact that the Democrats’ health care law fails to control health care costs and actually increases them, combined with the explicit financial incentives provided to employers to drop coverage, threatens the ability of 170 million Americans to retain their current employer-provided health insurance.” (“BROKEN PROMISE: Why ObamaCare Will Force Americans to Lose the Health Care Coverage they Have and Like,” House Ways and Means Committee, 5/1/12)
