March 26, 2010 at 10:06 AM #531545briansd1GuestVeritas, the silly pictures that you post are not good reasons to block reform.
Under this new bill, nobody is forced into government hospitals.
As far as I know, the VA government-run hospitals are providing wounded soldiers the best of care, with the highest technology.

Businesses React to Rising Cost of ObamaCare: They’re Cutting Benefits

Related: mdt, cat, vz, xlv, ixj, ^dji, ^gspcRemember the part in the ObamaCare pitch when they said if you like your current healthcare, it won’t change?
Turns out it might.
Companies are already announcing that their healthcare premium costs are going through the roof. Some are responding by firing people. Some are cutting benefits. And some are presumably eating it.
But costs they are rising.
A few examples from the WSJ:
— Caterpillar said it would cost the company at least $100 million more in the first year alone.
— Medical device maker Medtronic warned that new taxes on its products could force it to lay off a thousand workers.
— Verizon announced to employees that it will likely have to cut healthcare benefits to offset the new costs.So, people who like your employer-provided health insurance, get ready to pay more or get less.
