Obamacare Opponents Freak Out At The Idea The Law Could Mean More Freedom

JOB LOCK- The inability of an employee to voluntarily terminate employment with a particular company because he or she would lose current health care benefits. This becomes an issue for individuals that have pre-existing health conditions that may not be covered under the new employer's health care coverage. This situation is possible because most insurance companies have a pre-existing health care clause that prevents them from being liable for any condition that the employee had before requesting coverage.

also claimed that Republicans and the media cowered in fear of questioning Obama in 2009 because "he was such a historical figure" (he's black).
The point is that this is legend and lore for the dashboard believers one day later.

The Republicans are many things, but when it comes to advancing their own agenda, they are decidedly NOT losers.

(26,587 posts)When are people going to realize that their only concerns are big business and divisive social issues that they can use to get the plebs riled up into voting against their own interests?
Of course theyre freaking out about ordinary Americans having more freedom.

(5,043 posts)By uncoupling healthcare and employment, corporations are weakened. Employees are not shackled to their jobs. When they leave, it creates two big headaches.
The first is potential competition - if i leave to start my own business, I'm taking the expertise I used to provide to my employer and, potentially, provide it directly to customers.
Second, if the labor force shrinks because more people can afford to retire or take time off, companies have to compete harder for the remaining workers. It's as simple as the law of supply and demand. Wages will go up.
I firmly believe that this is the heart of republican opposition to the ACA. The rest is static.

ACA: spend more time with your family
Retire instead of working into your old age
Work just one job instead of 2 or 3
Start your own business
ACA will Create space for as many as 2.5 million unemployed people to find a job
WHY DO REPUBS HATE FREEDOM, FAMILY AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
GREAT JOB EARLG
