A Lot Of Employers Will End Up Dropping Their Plans Under GOP Replacement.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Even a lot of workers who already have health care plans under their employer will lose their coverage or it will skyrocket on them with repeal of ACA. A lot of employers will not be able to have plans. Plus "coupons" will will effectively be zeroed out by the rise in premiums. These "coupons" will be just extra money for CEO's.

Premiums will be like phony retail sales. You are paying the price you would have already paid without the "coupon".

2. A Lot Of Workers Have Employers Where ACA Supports Their Coverage.

ACA actually provides supports for employers to cover their employees in the first place. Under the GOP plan workers themselves would have to find individual insurance with their coupon. In many cases employers would wither not cover their employees or they could not afford to.

The GOP plan would end up unraveling a lot of employer coverage over time.

3. A lot of small businesses will go under as a result.

And it will be impossible for new ones to start up. I guess we'll all be working for giant corporations who treat us like shit. I guess that's their jobs plan?

4. If you work for a school district but are not a teacher you are totaly

screwed. If you are a custodian, food service, bus garage, bus driver, teachers assistant, and any other worker below teachers. This goes for any other government job be it city, county, state, or federal level. If you are not one of the big guys you are screwed. From what they are explaining it would only cost me $16,000 a year. I guess that will work. I make about $13,000. Will someone tell me how I pay for the $14,000 over my budget. Oh, I have a lot of pre existing problems. I am sure that anything I get is going to go away also...well, I actually know it is going away. They tell us they took away double digits for health care and some how with less they are claiming it is going to be better and a lot more....HOW?

6. Well, that $2-3000 coupon will help, right?

The Repubs are going from a do-nothing to a fuck you Congress.

7. You are right. Since I will not qualify because of my income and age it will be wonderful.

5. A lot of people who left the workforce...

and started their own businsesses will be left high and dry. Many of them only did that because they had hopes of they and their families being covered by ACA. Now, the Repubs will once again say, "Tough shit, suck it up!"

Look for unemployment to rise sharply.

9. Where were the hard questions at the presser with Spicer?

Sounded too much like the press was believing the pile of shit justifications he was spouting
