Like Iceland, employers are going to refuse to continue pay for or offer med ins. |

New employee packets will contain forms to apply for public assistance and limitations on hours worked to end run any state or fed regulations to provide benefits.
Big box stores have set the pattern and the main street shops are not far behind just to exist.
What Will be shocking is large major corporation dropping health care in response to any action taken by Congress. In a year from now the Public Option will be the only thing for the middle class. No jobs with med insurance will be the new norm.

only far more slowly. The insurance I had under a union contract 30 years ago for $1.25 a week cannot now be bought for love nor money. The best employer plans I have seen of late, are poor by comparison. My employer still offers insurance, but each year the benefits rachet down, and the expense to me rises. I do not believe I am in an unusual situation, except for the fact that my employer offers insurance at all. Give it another 5 or 10 years and you will be paying everything for almost no coverage.
