[quote=Aecetia]I will take at a stab at it, but agree the title is not explained by the information provided. I believe he is referring to the burdensome tax code included in the health care legislation that will cause more of the insatiable entitlement increases. The fact that large companies are being granted waivers to get out of the health care system requirements should certainly set off alarms for anyone who thinks this legislation is going to deliver what it purports to provide. In my opinion, health care is out of control in terms of increased costs to people and this legislation (Obamacare) gave the companies carte blanche to gouge us even more. Eventually someone is left holding the stick and they have to pay. And gandalf, we all know it is the family dog that is doing the farting![/quote]
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The private company waivers maintain coverage until the full force of the ACA takes effect in 2014 when those waivers end. The state waivers require at least the equivilent benefits as would be required under the ACA, just meet those requirements in a different way. Neither type of waiver allows anyone to “get out of the health care system requirements”. Additionally, based on the last published data, more than 1/3 of the waivers are for supplemental employer HRA plans, which require underlying plans to meet all ACA requirements. So those waivers are for providing coverage over and above what would otherwise be required.
So the alarm being set off in your head is one of ideology, not of actual facts.
