The consequences of ObamaCare are being hidden...
Washington Post
I don’t know if Members of Congress will be hearing about it in town
hall gatherings and other meetings back home over the Fourth of July
recess, but the rolling thunder of the approaching ObamaCare train can
be heard in the distance. Smart Democrats are beginning to get frantic
about the need to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare
between now and the 2014 midterm elections. We are just three months
away from the October 1st
enrollment start date and so far, nothing about the ObamaCare
implementation process should be politically encouraging for Democrats.
In fact, the more people learn about ObamaCare, the more frightened
they become.
Right
now, small businesses across America are making the final
determinations on how to reduce the working hours of their employees so
fewer employees qualify for the mandated, employer-provided health
insurance. Employers are also deciding whether it makes more economic
sense to pay a fine to the government or pay for healthcare benefits for
their employees. What this means is that hundreds of thousands – and
perhaps even millions – of Americans will learn that they are being
dismissed from their employer’s healthcare coverage.
The
healthcare pink slips will start raining down in late summer and early
fall. This will push people into the healthcare exchanges, where, in
some cases, people will be writing health insurance checks for the first
time. And in many cases, people will be facing increased health
insurance costs, particularly if they are young and healthy. The
negative effects on personal income and the overall economy will be
undeniable. Sometime next year, before the elections, the penalties
associated with not having or providing health insurance will begin to
pour in. Will the fines come in the mail? Will you be able to appeal?
What happens if someone doesn’t pay? No one knows. Or, no one who
knows is talking. The consequences of ObamaCare are being hidden. MORE
