Right Change: 7 Million Americans to Lose Employer Insurance Under Obamacare

President Obama in 2009: “no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works.”

Virtually every promise made under Obamacare has been broken and here is another one to add to the list. From the Washington Examiner:

“In 2022, by CBO and JCT’s estimate, 7 million fewer people will have employment-based health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act,” the CBO announced in its new budget outlook released on Tuesday. This is up from an estimate of 4 million last August, mostly reflecting the effects of tax changes.”

How does this happen, you ask? Well, many companies offer health insurance to their employees. Under the new law in 2014, companies can choose whether or not to offer healthcare plans if they have 50 or fewer employees. If they don’t, workers will be able to buy coverage from the government insurance marketplace. This means that 7 million workers will be forced to choose a new doctor and a new healthcare plan.

If you are wondering what a public insurance marketplace looks like, visit your local post office and DMV to get a taste. This law is simply an utter disaster.
