Obamacare: 30% of all companies will drop health insurance coverage
According to this report, after Obamacare is fully implemented in 2014 at least 30% of companies surveyed said they would “definitely or probably” drop their insurance plans they currently provide for their employees.
At least 30% of employers would gain economically from dropping coverage, even if they completely compensated employees for the change through other benefit offerings or higher salaries
This is something that many of us who are opposed to Obamacare have been saying the end result of this legislation would be. In fact many of us have been saying that the true goal of Obamacare was to encourage employers to drop healthcare coverage in order to eventually set up a single-payer government provide healthcare system.
But don’t just take my word for it, here is what some prominent Democrats had to say:
The Obama regime is discounting the findings of this report but the fact is that the process of eliminating employer based healthcare insurance would be well underway if the regime hadn’t handed out nearly 1,400 healthcare waivers to companies and unions which warned they would drop healthcare coverage if the waivers were not granted. As can be seen in the video I linked above, Barack Obama is a proponent of single-payer healthcare insurance and we are now seeing evidence that Obamacare will lead to this system once it is fully implemented.
Barack Obama has seen the fallout with the American voters on this issue and although he supports running private healthcare insurers out of business he is not so enamored with this position that he would risk his re-election chances to stand up for what he believes in, so he has granted these waivers in order to delay the inevitable destruction of the free market healthcare system until after the 2012 election.
Once the election is over the waivers will expire and companies will begin to drop healthcare coverage and this will force the American people into the loving arms of the government for their healthcare coverage–and that was the goal all along.

Single payer health care is exactly what Obama and the liberals want . It is all about power and control and dependence. You nailed it, Steve.

This was always the goal and the waivers are just being used to hide this until after the election because then it will be too late if Obama gets re-elected.

That has been the plan all along.

Yes it has, and it is moving along quite nicely, we must get rid of the Dems in 2012 if we want to have any chance of stopping this.

I am starting to become sympathetic to the plight of the **private** insurance industry. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have contributed to the demise of healthcare insurance via their versions of “reform.” Whether it be ObamaCare or RomneyCare, these new laws are tilted heavily in favor of the oligarchic healthcare **providers**. In contrast, the healthcare insurers are getting screwed.
Both versions of healthcare reform will increase the demand for care from the providers, thus driving up prices. Simultaneously, the insurance companies will suffer declining profits and eventual bankruptcy — because of the increase in underwriting costs being demanded by the providers.
Please read my latest blog post. I explain it better there.

Everytime I hear Romney all I can think about is Romneycare, it is hard to believe he is the frontrunner for the GOP. It goes to show how weak the field is.

Steve, at the **Townhall.com** website, one of the readers had suggested that Obama should choose Romney as his running mate in 2012.

Why not, they agree on several issues. 🙂

According to **The New Yorker** (“Romney’s Dilemma,” June 6, 2011) Mitt Romney was the mastermind of not only “MassCare” but also a key player behind the scenes for ObamaCare’s creation.
“If it were not for Mitt Romney, with assistance from the Heritage Foundation and George W. Bush, it is extremely unlikely that Obama would have passed his universal health-care law last year.” [Page 42 of the printed edition of **The New Yorker** (June 6, 2011)]
