Obamacare Meltdown

[BeanCounter]

Steve,

First of all the problems that you cite are found predominately in the St Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas which are predominantly Democratic. The liberal Democrats caused the problem and are the ones that are shipping the money here. How about you let us send you all those problems and their excess babies and you can keep your friggin money. The 4% more babies we have are probably due to the greater number of gay marriages you have where they flat can't have kids. Just like most liberals you cause the problem and then you ***** about it. Believe you me out here in the hinterlands we don't get any of that Commie Massachusetts money and we don't want it. We take care of ourselves. Secondly call Claire McCaskill and tell her she's a conservative.

Ronbo, you're mistaken that you are paying 65% of their first 9 months Cobra. Credits for that 65% are being given to you through your payroll taxes that you pay in. The government is footing the bill on that. I know since my daughter is on COBRA and I set up all of the reporting for Blue Cross here in Kansas City.

You are correct, I'm supposed to get the money back. But it's just more headache and expense I have to bear for supplying medical insurance to my employees. Not to mention the Insurance co. also has to deal with it to some extent which adds to the cost.

I have no doubt all this stuff over the last 20+ years (by both parties) has been leading to this end. Congress robbing SS blind (should rename it Retirement Poverty) wasn't enough now they need to steal your medical $$. Guess when they saw all the income going into 401k's they figured they left us with too much money.

Of course I haven't touched on the major screwing from workman's comp. it's so bad most insurance companies won't even write it.
