My brother-in-law works for a subcontractor for a major U.S. grocery chain, and is a union member. He called me yesterday afternoon and informed me that his employer had fallen victim to Obamacare regulations. His major medical insurance premiums are set to go up in October to the tune of an extra $3600 per year. He's the sole wage-earner for a family of 4. So much for B.O.'s claim to be a champion of the middle class.

That can't be right because Obama said he would save the average American family $3500 a year.
But the good news is he's black. Isn't that wonderful?
Not just 'black', but a 'black' MUSLIM........

You left out "socialist" and "Kenyan."
You're slipping.
this sounds like an article from Fox news. That part of Obamacare doesn't go into affect until 2014.
The "other shoe" doesn't drop til 2014.

We have a exemption that expires in 2014 at which point we drop out heathcare.
Oh well, found out about an hour ago one more of our customer's business closing today after 17 years. There will be five employees and one owner unemployed. But hey-things are getting better!!!!

Are you one of those who wants to transfer you healthcare cost to people like me who pay ?
Is that the reason you are against the ACA ?
Speaking of affordable care act speak up if your healthcare costs have been lowered by it's passage.
That's what happens when you take the single payer and public option off the table and leave the private insurance companies as the sole provider of insurance coverage. That's not competition. That's not even free market choice! There is no choice!
Americans don't like the present version of Obamacare precisely because of this; because Obama caved to the Republicans early on and let this happen. I'm sure he's much wiser now and won't think the Republicans will play nice and be his friend as he did at one time.
prop... dontcha grow weary of telling the republicans "everything they complain about , they caused"! ... it's like i always say... you can lead a republican to facts, but you can't make them think!

If somebody was careless with fire, and it burned my house down, you bet I going to blame him.
And I'm not going to stand for his buddies complaining that I'm not building it back fast enough to suit them, either.
