Chuck Schumer Blames ObamaCare for Premium Increases

[LovingKayla]

Somehow it's just not as satisfying being right, as I'd hoped.

Oh well. I'm looking FORWARD to getting arrested for non compliance. I will never comply with this horse shit.

As for other small business owners (unlike yourself) that have substandard ins, they qualify for SHOP, and receive tax credits to offset their bottomline. IMO until the program grows some legs nobody knows exactly how this is going to play out.

One thing is for sure. And our Insurance Carrier reminded us of this so well this morning. Obama Care is the Law. Period. It's not going to be repealed. With Hillary waiting in the wings, the Democrats will keep the Executive Branch for the next 11 years. And even if the Republicans could capture the Senate, there would never be enough of a majority to override a Presidential Veto.

So, our agent just get with the program, and be done with it. That is what we are doing.

Jackie, you got some excellent advice from your agent. The old saying applies in this instance, "you can't fight city hall."

And one other thing. Keep in mind, the enforcement wing of this entire law is the IRS.

Most small business owners learn to avoid anything that will give the IRS a reason to come snooping around. Once they walk through the door, they usually do not leave until they have made your life a tad miserable.

When Obama Care becomes fully implemented, I look for the IRS to use their new found authority to do just that to those businesses that refuse to obey the Law.

I forgot, you and cof are smarter that the study from the cbo. My bad.

Duh. The CBO doesn't set a very high bar for intelligence. Even you would be smarter than them, CBJ7, if you disconnected yourself from the great Obamatron in Chicago.

the CBO doesn't pull the numbers out of thin air. The only thing they have to work with are the numbers they have provided to them. (hint) Apparently you missed my post about that very scenario.
