I Just Re-Watched "Sicko" - More Timely Now Than When Released

[timzi]

And even more depressing since our (not so) super-majority has chosen corporate welfare health care as the best we can do. The avowed Republican plan to dominate the dialog and the media is succeeding - witness the multitudes who vehemently exercise their right to oppose their own best interests. I'd like to get the whole country to just sit quietly down and watch "Sicko". Sigh.....

2. Our employee told us if he can with the public option, he is cancelling our insurance.

Our employer advised us that it only makes sense if the public option somehow is cheaper for him by subsidies or stupid government accounting (SGA) he will dump our plan in a heartbeat. It doesn't matter what the coverage is or isn't; he is going to dump it.

3. There are restrictions to which employers can drop their insurance to get

the public option. They can only have so many employees, and some don't qualify for PO if they already offer insurance.

Your employer is blowing smoke.
