#86886 RE: SOROS #86874

Your talking as if this is something that affects all employers when it really applies to only a few. The number of employers with more than 50 employees is relatively small. Those with fewer than 50 employees can qualify for federal tax credits under ACA to make up for any increase in premium if they have employees with an average salary below $25,000. They also are not subject to the penalties.

Companies with more than 50 employees are relatively large and should be able to absorb the additional costs. Most of them are already contributing 85% or more. If they do drop their sponsored coverage because they have low wage workers then their workers will in most cases be better off getting ACA subsidized coverage. Then there's the not so small issue of all of these people with subsidized premiums having thousands of dollars more in disposable income to stimulate economic activity and increased employment.

You're grabbing at straws to make your argument to eliminate the ACA.

1. Medicare patients do NOT receive the same treatment as private health care patients because Medicare screws doctors in what they will pay. That is a FACT. If you knew people on both types of insurance over time, you would not question this.

My mother-in-law is on Medicare. She goes to any doctor she wants and receives terrific care. I have no idea what you're talking about. But where in my post does it even mention Medicare? What it talks about is that the Kochs are spending tens of millions of dollars to deny poor people health care.

Your posts are long-winded and rambling....usually having nothing to do with the topic being discussed.
