ObamaCare Update
6/21/2011
Conservatives,
Three new reports are predicting that tens of millions of
Americans will lose their employer-sponsored health insurance
(ESI) due to ObamaCare -- adding hundreds of billions and
perhaps trillions of dollars to ObamaCare's price tag
over the next ten years. The scenario goes like this:
Employers will abandon employer-based health insurance in
favor of paying the $2,000 ObamaCare penalty -- and save
thousands of dollars per employee in the process.
Meanwhile, employees get forced into the government's health
insurance welfare system that pays them thousands of
dollars in ObamaCare welfare dollars!
A report issued in May -- entitled "Labor Markets and Health
care Reform: New Results" -- paints a shocking picture of
the real impact of ObamaCare with an estimated 35 million
employees losing their ESI. The report shows clear economic
incentives for employers to drop healthcare coverage for
employees making up to $59,200.
Two additional studies -- by the National Center for Policy
Analysis and McKinsey -- project from 80 million to 117
million people will lose their ESI. The McKinsey study
surveyed over 1,300 employers and found that "30 percent
of employers will definitely or probably stop offering ESI
in the years after 2014." For those employers that had a
"high awareness" of the rules of ObamaCare, "this proportion
increases to more than 50 percent, and upward of 60 percent
will pursue some alternative to traditional ESI."
Responding to these studies, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)
recently warned in a Washington Post op-ed that:
"ObamaCare poses two great dangers to our nation: lower
quality of care and runaway costs. It will stifle
innovation and lead to rationing. But the overwhelming
cost and the damage it will do to our nation's finances
at a pivotal moment in our history deserve greater scrutiny."
Johnson says that if tens of millions of workers lose their
ESI and are forced into the government system, the cost of
ObamaCare "would be more than nine times the original cost
estimate of $93 billion each year ($893 billion vs. $93
billion)."
This is the shocking truth of ObamaCare!
Tens of millions of Americans will lose their employer-based
insurance and be forced into a massive new government
welfare program that will bankrupt our nation!
