What's new

GOVERNMENT .... SHUTDOWN...LOOMS !

I'm sure the 140,000 employees at Walgreens are thrilled about Obamacare today. Walgreens lobbied for it, and is now dumping their employees onto the exchanges.

There's no need to shut down the government. All the Senate has to do with the House is agree on a budget, something they've failed to do for as long as some of them have been in office.
 
Problem being, and finally Unions are starting to get it is, BaRack lied when he said it would not affect your existing insurance !

BaRack's end result expectations are the same..............a single payer system !


The A C A..is the "CONSTITUTIONAL-LAW-OF-THE-LAND"

But (little bird), don't take my word for it, check with the CHIEF JUSTICE of the SUPREME Court.

John Roberts. Even YOU....remember Republican appointee Supreme Court Justice JOHN ROBERTS. I mean STUPID...err I mean President GWB appointed him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court !!!!!!!!!

The beauty of all 'this' is that if a Government Shutdown occurs (and it WONT...I'll Explain in a minute), 50.1 % of the voters in 16' will remember that it was the ONLY REPLUG controlled body, that did it.. A G A I N. (Wont be able to blame the Democrat bodies....POTUS or Senate).

Why it WONT happen ? Because the old time REPLUGS in the house, who secretly HATE the Tea-Potty, have NO plans on retiring and want to keep thier $$$$ jobs, who will always be elected/re-elected from NORMAL States like NY/NJ/CT/MD/MT/WA/OR will vote either with the Dems, or vote 'present', or NOT vote at all, therefore keeping the Whack Jobs from a majority vote.

Oh, and my "littlt Bird" comment toward you ?
I FINALLY figured out exactly who/what you remind me of.
The 'Little Bird' that pops out of the Clock going..... "CUUKOO - CUUKOO - CUUKOO",. ..............Y'A L L !!!!!!

PS,
After 'BONER' retires, or gets THROWN OUT as speaker, Maybe, if YOU'RE Lucky, you can get THIS...'D-BAG' elected speaker of the house,....... Y'ALL !

ACA may be the law of the land, but we once had laws outlawing alcohol, allowing slave ownership, and requiring a border fence to be built along the southern border...

Two were abolished, and one somehow got unfunded.

Even if ACA isn't abolished or repealed, it still can't go very far without being funded.

Walgreens is going to contribute the exact same amount to employees health care insurance as they do now. The difference is that the Walgreens employees will now be able to choose from larger pool of plans through the exchanges raster than having to buy what Walgreens offers them.

This is very similar to what the FEHB program in place for all current federal employees. A set amount is paid towards one's health insurance and a choice is made from a buffet of plans. Those companies compete for the federal employees by offering differing plans ands services at differing levels. Sounds kind of capitalistic doesn't it?

"The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program
The FEHB Program can help you and your family meet your health care needs. Federal employees, retirees and their survivors enjoy the widest selection of health plans in the country. You can choose from among Consumer-Driven and High Deductible plans that offer catastrophic risk protection with higher deductibles, health savings/reimbursable accounts and lower premiums, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) plans, and their Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), or Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) if you live (or sometimes if you work) within the area serviced by the plan.
Use this site to compare the costs, benefits, and features of different plans. We chose the different benefit categories based on enrollee requests, differences among plans, and simplicity. However, we urge you to consider the total benefit package, in addition to service and cost, and provider availability when choosing a health plan."

"The drugstore chain said that beginning in 2014, it will give employees a set amount of money to choose health insurance coverage from a wide range of offerings in a fast-expanding private online marketplace run by Aon Hewitt, a benefits firm."

"“What we’re seeing is a continuation of a trend where employers are shifting from providing the tangible benefit to putting contributions into a pot, making the employee responsible for buying the actual benefit,” said Linda Barrington, executive director of Cornell University’s Institute for Compensation Studies. “Employees have more choice, but they also have to be educated consumers.”

So Eric, now you are for less choice for a consumer?

And ask all of those DOD employees about their 21 furlough days and if the sequestration doesn't matter.
 
Eric,

Guess you dont realize SCOTUS all ready upheld the ACA.
 
Problem being, and finally Unions are starting to get it is, BaRack lied when he said it would not affect your existing insurance !

I want a single payer system as well.

And that's the rub. Both Houses will not agree to defund the act so the republicans threatening once again to shut down the US government, degrade our credit rating yet again to get their way because they do not have the votes to get their way.

The problem for employees is that a flat subsidy for spending in private exchanges just transfers the burden of rising health care costs over the next 20 years, from the employer to the employee. If Walgreens expected ObamaCare to actually control costs, they wouldn't be dumping employee coverage. All this move does is gets Walgreens and other corporate employers off the hook for Obamacare compliance costs! This move isn't in support of Obamacare, it's a move to protect them from Obamacare.

What ever happened to "if you like your plan, you can keep you plan"?
 
And that's the rub. Both Houses will not agree to defund the act so the republicans threatening once again to shut down the US government, degrade our credit rating yet again to get their way because they do not have the votes to get their way.

So, what you're saying is that the Republicans drew the red line? Or the Senate drew the red line?

We know how red lines have worked out in the past month.

The House has put forth a proposal which is hardly what I'd call draconian.

If the Senate refuses to negotiate, how exactly are conservatives to blame?



And the wreckage of the Obamacare train wreck continues. Today Home Depot announced that 20,000 employees who had been on a plan will now be forced onto the exchanges.

"If you're one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. This law will only make it more secure and more affordable."

— President Barack Obama, June 28, 2009

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

— President Barack Obama, Aug. 11, 2009

"If you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have."

— President Barack Obama, Sept. 9, 2009

This is all turning out to be bold faced lies for the 160,000 people impacted just by Walgreens and Home Depot.

And BaRack gets what he wanted..............a "Single-payer" system, overseen and run by big brother !

The republicans have a plan? Pray tell, what is this plan that they have?
