OBAMACARE FREES PEOPLE FROM THE “INSURANCE TRAP”

[kpete]

OBAMACARE FREES PEOPLE FROM THE “INSURANCE TRAP”: Relatedly, the New York Times has a good editorial laying out how the CBO’s findings actually show that Obamacare is freeing people from being tied to jobs because they need insurance:

Some workers may have had a pre-existing condition and will now be able to leave work because insurers must accept all applicants…Some may have felt they needed to keep working to pay for health insurance, but now new government subsidies will help pay premiums, making it more possible for them to leave their jobs…The new law will free people, young and old, to pursue careers or retirement without having to worry about health coverage. Workers can seek positions they are most qualified for and will no longer need to feel locked into a job they don’t like because they need insurance for themselves or their families

1. Individual ownership of health insurance

Just like auto insurance. Your insurance that you purchase is not tied to your job so tell wal mart and others to shove it and go get a real job, or start your own small business.
