OBAMACARE IS DESTROYING EMPLOYMENT AND MUST BE DESTROYED ITSELF

ObamaCare: Bad For Small Businesses, Worse For Their Employees
Posted by Speaker Boehner Press Office | February 25, 2014 | Permalink

The White House can’t say whether its health care law is working, but thanks to THIS REPORT Speaker Boehner requested, we now have a clearer picture of how much the law will hurt the nation’s small businesses and the people who work for them:
The Washington Post
Obama administration: Health law’s new rules will increase costs for most small businesses
“Nearly two-thirds of small businesses that currently offer health insurance to their workers will pay more for coverage as a result of new rules in the health care law, as will millions of small-business employees and their family members, according to new estimates released by the Obama administration. … If accurate, it would continue a steep climb in insurance costs for many small businesses. … In terms of its expected economic footprint, it has been a rough few weeks for the president’s signature law, commonly called ObamaCare.” 



Associated Press
“Obamacare May Raise Premiums For 11 Million Small Business Employees: Report”
The new health care law may raise insurance premiums for 11 million small business employees and lower rates for 6 million others.  That's an estimate from a report by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, part of the Department of Health and Human Services.”

The Wall Street Journal
“Rising Premiums May Hit Small Firms”
The report, from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of the Actuary, is the latest piece of bad news for the president’s signature domestic achievement.  While the law was designed to curb rising health costs, some consumers have seen their premiums or other out-of-pocket costs increase this year, or had their plans canceled altogether. … House Speaker John Boehner said, ‘The Obama administration has finally been forced to disclose what we've long feared: the president's health-care law means higher premiums for millions of American workers.’”

CNN
“Republicans pounce on Obamacare report; Democrats cry foul”
“Republicans are seizing on a new report in which the Obama administration itself concludes that the President's signature health care law would raise premiums for roughly two-thirds of small companies. … CMS released the report on Friday with little fanfare.  Neither the HHS website nor the CMS website shows a news release or public notice about the report.  … ‘BREAKING: Obama administration says 11 million will pay higher premiums for their health care,’ read a tweet from House Speaker John Boehner's Twitter account.”

Fox News
“ObamaCare may increase premiums for 11 million workers, report says”
“Republicans renewed their fight against ObamaCare on Monday in response to a new report in which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services concludes that 11 million small business employees may see their premiums rise under the law. … Republicans were quick to pounce on the report, which was requested by House Speaker John Boehner and was due before the end of 2011.

CNBC
“Two-thirds of small businesses to see premiums spike under ObamaCare: Report”
“About two-thirds of Americans who work at small businesses will see health-insurance premiums increase under Obamacare, according to a new federal report.  … The report was released Friday, but came to light late Monday as some lawmakers have seized on the report's release to voice their skepticism about Obamacare.
