So sorry to hear this, but glad you haven't lost your sense of humor. Sending positive thoughts.

They should still have to offer benefits with Obama's new health care law. You would just have to pay for it. If you can't afford it' date=' check with the state to see what benefits you will qualify for. I would also look into unemployment to see if they will suppliment your income.[/quote']

It's Obama's new health care law that is causing this.

I don't blame the government at all for this. I blame greedy CEOs who would rather spend their money on race cars and bowl games which costs millions.

Honestly, it's a mixture of both. The new health care rules are increasing costs for the greedy CEO's and nothing will stop them from having their mad money which means cutting employees.

You don't think mandated $2000/mo health insurance isn't the primary cause of this?

Oh boy!! even I'm not that stupid to discus politics on this forum. Because look at the stupid **** that we fight about all ready!!!

Well, when you are the one actually paying for employee benefits your view changes. I'm having to change my whole business model because of Obamacare.

I've taken a 60%+ increase in health insurance rates over the last 3 years, and Anthem is telling to expect my rates to double over the next 3-4years. What I was paying 650/mo per employee for is now costing me over 1100 & will go up to over 2200

Wise words, Laura-Ven... I just added you as a friend!

[fyre_storm 1,412]

I'm sorry but human life and the ability to give people the proper care is more important to me then anything else. I know the draw backs but I think in the end it will be manageable.

I told you I'm not getting into it OTR!!

But I blame the big insurance companies, they are there to make big profits they don't care how they do it "insurance" in its self is a scam...

I have anthem blue cross.. We just saw my "final" cost of this surgery was over 130 thousand!

Did it really cost that much??? No but they (the hospital) get to write it off and not pay taxes. They are all in bed together..they are in the business of taking our money but allowing as little care as possible..

But OTR I will not get into it because its really a no win situation.. And the blame can and should be put on many things not just one.

Hehehe Laura
