This is an understatement! It will be more like 60-70% who will drop their insurance programs. Companies can cut their costs drastically and blame it on stupid. our current president. They won't have to go through the aggrivation of negotiating insurance too. People will have the worst possible health insurance in the world in just a matter of a few years. John's Hopkins will be no better than a mom and pop shop doctor's office. The specialists and high octane doctors will be retiring sooner. It is going to be really bad. And, taxpayers are going to pay at least THREE times more than obamicare was estimated to cost. Sad

That is the ultimate goal of obamacare, get everyone to drop their insurance and then get on the national plan. Then they can say we didn't force people to join, they chose to join the national healthcare system. Then, we will all be screwed. Republicans have to win the day in November!

Glad that I do not have any employees in my business to deal with healthcare. But it really won't matter anyway 'cause Obama will make it impossible for any business to survive, especially small business. I look around Smallsbury and on every block there is a Sperry Van Ness AVAILABLE sign on empty office buildings.
And most have been there a long time with no takers!
Hello Obama lovers!
