- Avid, original supporters of Obama Care, the unions, now realize what a disaster it will be for its members and want out of it altogether.
- It’s runaway costs and failure to resolve the root causes of high health care costs in this country will add trillions of dollars to the national debt without taming health care costs.
- The original cost estimate of implementing the legislation is now more than three times higher just three years after the law was enacted.
- Obama Care’s business model and structure will cause the least wealthy in our society, the younger generation, to subsidize the most wealthy in our society, the Baby Boomer generation.
- The law is causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket for just about everyone vs. what is available today in the individual insurance market.
- Senator Max Baucus, an avid and original supporter of Obama Care, correctly called the whole legislation a “train wreck” many months ago, even before the latest screw ups occurred.
- The Congressional Budget Office officially predicts that up to 7 million Americans will LOSE their current health insurance as a result of Obama Care, the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do.
- The legislation is causing the nation to become a nation of part time workers as businesses cannot afford the penalties required in the legislation for full time workers.
- Doctors are retiring earlier than expected because of the many hassles of the legislation, putting more cost and access pressure on the health care industry in this country vs. what would have happened in the absence of this legislation.
- People are losing access to their current insurance options and are losing access to their current doctors and hospitals as a result of Obama Care.
- The rollout of the Obama Care online health insurance exchanges is nothing but an unmitigated disaster.
- The data systems support for the legislation has correctly been called an identity thief’s paradise.
- Training for people who will support the health insurance exchanges has been inadequate and has involved hiring people without doing criminal background checks on them before allowing them to access Americans’ private information (see identity thief paradise in previous bullet.)
- The law is so bad, that poltiicians in Washingotn want to break the law and exempt themselves and their staff members form certain aspects of the law.
And the most depressing part of this whole fiasco is that Obama Care hasn’t even been fully implemented yet. Many parts of it have been delayed into the future.
But these are all general findings. As bad as these bullet point findings are and how they prove beyond a doubt that this was the worst piece of legislation ever passed by Washington, they do not touch on the human aspect and wreckage that this legislation is raining down on Americans. Lost insurance coverage, lost hours as they are forced to become part time workers, and lost jobs are hitting American families hard.
To give you an idea of how hard, consider the following list of businesses, schools, and other organizations that have had to cut their workers’ hours in order to stay financially viable and comply with the idiotic regulations of Obama Care. Investors Business Daily published a document with over 300 employers who have cut hours because of Obama Care, a list that was published BEFORE the current rollout disaster sprung up over the past few weeks. (Note: the list does not include businesses that have stopped hiring or have put off expansion of their businesses as a result of Obama Care, i.e. the carnage is worse than just what has happened to the following companies).
As you go through this list, think about the hundreds of thousands of Americans that have already been negatively impacted by just these 313 companies’ reactions to the draconian tenets of Obama Care:

All of this unnecessary anguish and hardship all because of a piece of legislation that was not well thought out, was rushed through enactment without proper vetting and analysis, and that has no chance of ever being successful because it fails miserably to address the root causes of our ever rising health care costs in this country.
313 companies, schools, and other organizations already slammed, hundreds of thousands of Americans, if not millions of Americans, already slammed, with more anguish yet to come.
