    I don't know whether they know it or not, the insurance companies. I have to assume they're not idiots and they know it and they're just trying to make their big score while they can 'cause they know what's coming their way.

    RUSH: Each developing stage of this is gonna make insurance companies less and less necessary.

    Cancel The Champagne: Obamacare Tax Predicted To Hit Business Hard

    April 2, 2014 by Watchdog.org

    MADISON, Wis. — Call it a case of premature celebration.

    As President Barack Obama did his victory dance Tuesday amid better-than-expected (reported) enrollment in his namesake Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance tax looms in the shadows. Its $100 billion impact, business advocates say, could ultimately hurt the people Obamacare claims to help.
    In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Bernie Marcus, co-founder and former chairman and CEO of Home Depot, asserts small and mid-sized business will bear the brunt of the health insurance tax — known as HIT in business circles — and that “Many will be forced to raise their employees’ share of premium payments or, worse, lay off workers to pay the escalating costs of health care for their core employees.”
    Hard to party with those kind of possibilities ahead.
    Yet Obama insists happy days are here again and here to stay, thanks to his signature legislation. The proof, the President said, is that some 7.1 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare as of the March 31 deadline, according to Administration numbers.
    “The Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” Obama triumphantly declared in a Rose Garden speech. Despite all the website “glitches,” the delays and the small matter of the Americans who have lost their insurance, the President calls it all “progress.” He blasted Republicans and other critics of the big-government program.
    “Many of the tall tales that have been told about this law have been debunked. There are still no death panels. Armageddon has not arrived,” he said. “Instead, this law is helping millions of Americans, and in the coming years it will help millions more.”
    But the worst is yet to come, according to critics closely watching the impending healthcare tax.
    The tax is expected to generate revenue of about $8 billion this year and as much as $14.3 billion by 2018.
    The Congressional Budget Office has said the tax will be “largely passed through to consumers in the form of higher premiums.”
    In his op-ed, Marcus writes that millions of Americans will be “paying much higher premiums because of this tax, with the added cost rippling through the economy and stifling job creation.”
    Marcus notes that “the National Federation of Independent Businesses projects the health-insurance tax will add an additional $475 per year for the average individually purchased family policy — nearly $5,000 over the course of a decade. Small businesses will take an even bigger hit, with the cost of an employer-provided family policy rising a projected $6,800 in the next decade.”
    And NFIB projects the private sector will trim at least 146,000 jobs through 2022 due to the health insurance tax.
    “That’s like vaporizing some of the largest employers in the country. Just the low-end estimate — 146,000 jobs — is still more than the total number of employees currently working for companies like Costco, Microsoft and Delta Airlines,” Marcus writes.
    Businesses across the country are expressing concern about the impact of the Affordable Care Act.
    A Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce survey of 341 Wisconsin CEOs released in January found more than one-fifth of respondents were concerned about health insurance, and 18 percent worried about government regulations.
    According to the survey, 93 percent of respondents said they offer employer-sponsored health insurance coverage to their employees. Of those, 87 percent said their costs would increase. Forty-two percent said their premiums would rise between 11 percent to 20 percent; 40 percent said rates would rise between 1 percent to 10 percent.
    Respondents say they will pass on some or all of their higher healthcare costs to employees. Specifically, 54 percent said they would increase employee contributions, and 22 percent said they would reduce benefits.
    One executive, when asked “what is holding back the economy,” said: “I think most companies trimmed back in (2009) and have been reluctant to make any bold moves because of all the unknown big issues driven by the government,” according to WMC. Another said: “Lack of trust, direction and leadership at the federal level.”
    “The jobs never created because of the health-insurance tax will be a ‘death of a thousand cuts’ on Main Street that adds up to a major wound for the economy,” Marcus wrote in the op-ed. “As a result, NFIB predicts total gross domestic product in 2022 will be $23 billion to $35 billion smaller than it would have been absent the HIT.”
    The President may want to cancel the champagne.

    Obama Declares Victory, but Only 858k Have Actually Paid ObamaCare Premiums; Obama Aides Credit BFFs Bradley Cooper, Zach G., and LeBron

    President Obama declared victory for the ACA yesterday, touting new reports of 7 million signups for health insurance on the ObamaCare exchanges, reports the New York Times. But a secret study from the RAND Corporation casts serious doubt on the president's data. As reported by the Daily Mail, RAND estimates only 858,000 newly-insured Americans have actually paid their ObamaCare premiums. Newsmax reports that the GOP called Obama's figures the "ultimate April Fool’s Day joke."

    Obama Lies About 7.1 Million Obamacare Sign-Ups – Study Shows Only 858,000 Newly Insured Americans Have Paid

    APRIL 2, 2014 12:30 PM 0 COMMENTS VIEWS: 8079

    Obamacare is the biggest scam of government control and propaganda in our lifetimes. When all the real data come to light, it will make Bernie Madoff look like a saint.
    How convenient it is that the deadline for Obamacare sign-ups came and went and on April Fools Day, Barack Hussein Obama, in all his adolescent immaturity, gets to boast before the world that The Affordable Care Act reached just over the precise goal of signing up 7 million new comrades? Obama and his regime must take most Americans for abject fools if they think that line is believable.
    Exactly where are the numbers? And why did this criminal administration announce just 3 days before the deadline that the numbers would come in at 6 million sign-ups? The liberal media has bought this lie, hook, line and sinker and has run with it like military troops receiving orders from their commanding officer.
    Again, where are the numbers? Where is a fact sheet handed out by Obama with real statistics as he took his victory lap in a press conference on April 1 making the announcement, but not taking a single question from reporters? And how many of the supposed 7.1 million sign-ups are new? And how many are healthy, young people who will be paying into the system, but not using it for 30 years thus being the foundation to fund this monstrosity?
    In reality, a comprehensive study by the RAND Corporation shows there are only 858,000 Americans that have actually made a payment into the system. That does not make for a solvent healthcare program.
    While the Obama propaganda machine is declaring a success and saying millions have signed-up and have been helped by Obamacare, they have conveniently hidden all the raw data that would actually be able to prove that preposterous claim.
    Read more below from the UK Daily Mail:
    A triumphant President Barack Obama declared Tuesday his signature medical insurance overhaul a success, saying it has made America's health care system 'a lot better' in a Rose Garden press conference.
    But buried in the 7.1 million enrollments he announced in a heavily staged appearance is a more unsettling reality.
    Numbers from a RAND Corporation study that has been kept under wraps suggest that barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans – nowhere near 7.1 million – have paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night.
    Others were already insured, including millions who lost coverage when their existing policies were suddenly cancelled because they didn't meet Obamacare's strict minimum requirements.
    Still, he claimed that 'millions of people who have health insurance would not have it' without his insurance law.'
    'The goal we’ve set for ourselves – that no American should go without the health care they need ... is achievable,' Obama declared.
    The president took no questions from reporters, but celebrated the end of a rocky six-month open-enrollment period by taking pot shots at Republicans who have opposed the law from the beginning as a government-run seizure of one-seventh of the U.S. economy.
    'The debate over repealing this law is over,' he insisted. 'The Affordable Care Act is here to stay.'
