Also, my post is not contrarian. The op asked a question and I gave an answer based on my on actual experience. I neither professed to support or oppose the ACA. I simply stated a FACT that as it sits right now I recognize that if our insurance premiums go up we simply may not be able to afford to keep the company supplied health insurance. That's not contrarian that's just the world I live in.

Yes I have less than 300 post. I have a job, I have kids, I have a girlfriend and many other things that do not allow me the time to have nearly 7000 post in a 4 1/2 years. That would take like 4 + post a day every day. Glad you have that much free time to sit in front of a computer. I do not.
