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?

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

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!! :P

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
