No death panels, no crashed economy, no granny's wheeled into the streets, and now this. Sorry Whodey (and other naysayers) you were just plain wrong! 😏

Originally posted by bill718Actually the only thing anyone should care about is how a governmental program effects them.
Your experience counts for very little...
But as far as healthcare goes I am not sure why you summarily ignore something that effects the 40 families of co-workers and millions of others who are similarly situated.

Originally posted by JS357The companies with less than 40 employees are not forced to buy coverage. But they are dramatically effected by market forces.

When insurance goes up over 20% (year after year after year), the compromise is predictable, employees and employers both contribute more and the coverage is worse.
Originally posted by bill718What I can't figure out is, if its so great why does someone always try to be selling it as good?

If it's so good, it should sell itself.
