My husband says he is going to retire in Feb. 2014 when his current contract ends but I've heard that story before. Work or retire, we still must have health insurance.
Its sad......

Anthem BCBS Health Insurance quote for my Brother in Law and his company (10 employees) today....next year rates go up about 11%. He pays for their insurance as does the company I work for. The following year when Obiecare is supposed to be in full swing...rates go up 99.6%. Yeah that's fair!! So what choice does he have? He has to drop the employee coverage if they want to still have place to work and they will go the the gubment exchange to get obiecare just like it was planned. Is this correct? Anyone been following this know any different? Some on here love obama and thinks this is great news having small companies bail out on employees to stay in business so whats the positive spin on this situation? Whats that person going to pay now when before his company paid for it. Doesn't that mean anything to obiecare lovers?

Another thing that is happening...middle sized Companies are splitting to get under the mandatory insurance for employees rule or putting people on part time and splitting to avoid the mandates. Again how is that helping???
What happened to cost cutting and affordable insurance? When you go from not paying for your insurance to being told you now have to or be fined how does that help the family budget? Anyone??? What am I missing?
Don't even say well it's the company and their greed that caused the employee of a small business to be on his own because that's bull. Large corporations/unions, Congress and Potus are getting a pass on some of this stuff because its too costly...at least I have been told that but have not verified it.

This isn't only about that little kid or senior citizen having a tough time....it's about all of us and many of these families who will be impacted in a negative way have little kids or seniors they are taking care of!!!

This country has lost its mind.
