Obamacare is not even in full effect yet, and already there are major problems.  USA Today<\/a> is reporting today that 30 companies have received exemptions from the provisions of Obamacare.  The Department of Health and Human Services<\/font><\/a> said it granted waivers in late September so workers with such plans wouldn’t lose coverage from employers who might choose instead to drop health insurance altogether.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“”The big political issue here is the president promised no one would lose the coverage they’ve got,” says Robert Laszewski, chief executive officer of consulting company Health Policy and Strategy Associates. “Here we are a month before the election, and these companies represent 1 million people who would lose the coverage they’ve got.””<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The article closes with this comment:<\/p>\n

\n

“The biggest single waiver, for 351,000 people, was for the <\/em>United Federation of Teachers<\/em><\/a> Welfare Fund, a New York union providing coverage for city teachers. The waivers are effective for a year and were granted to insurance plans and companies that showed that employee premiums would rise or that workers would lose coverage without them, Santillo says.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Keep in mind that all this is happening before Obamacare even takes full effect.  We need to elect a Congress that will first defund this disaster, then repeal and replace it with legislation that includes tort reform, tax breaks for individuals buying their own health insurance, and portability of insurance across state lines.  Remember that in order to stay in business and provide the quality of healthcare all Americans have come to expect, health insurance companies and medical providers need to be profitable.  We need to remember that profit is not a crime.  A vote for any Democrat running for Congress is a vote for Obamacare to continue its destructive ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
