well redblack.. you or I may not have the right to know… but the entire federal bureacracy does! Obamacare does that. Did ya notice that in the legislation? No? Because you got to read it AFTER it was passed. Every insurance company is required to submit to the federal government the complete health care record of every citizen. I would say the congress that passed the act pulled the numbers out.. but heck redblack,…check the CBO’s new projections… already Obamacare has doubled in costs… it just took 24 months for the “assumptions” to run into the 10 year minimum projections required of the CBO..can’t wait for the next year, and the year after and..etc.etc. etc. Use common sense man. It is not a stretch of genius…maintain a group plan.. here take a look.
“The average cost of a family policy offered by employers was $13,375 this year, up 5% from 2008,” Even if the smallest business did a 50/50 match… that’s over $6500 per employee family. The “fine” to opt out is $2000. DUH….watcha think they will do? every survey says at a minimum 40% of all small businesses will stop offering health insurance. If you could cut your employee health care costs by 66%…. by throwing them on Obamacare… would you do it? Of course you would. When you don’t want to read the budget numbers, do the research, check facts and surverys…. “blame a vast right wing conspiracy”.. ha ha ha… Democrats hate it.. people are starting to smell the stench.
