Oddly, the Rat-bastard insurance companies may be our ally in the SCOTUS ruling. [View all]
Here's' why:
More and more "jobs" come with little or no company "help" on ever-escalating costs of insuring employees
There is NO shortage of qualified employees. They already have the "pick of the litter" when it comes to hiring.
BOOMERS are retiring right and left and sliding into Medicare, and OFF the rolls of insurance they were tied to for a lifetime of work.
"New jobs" are paying less and employees can no longer afford to buy insurance, so why not just "freeload" when sick or injured?
People who have already lost all or most of what they had, when the Bubble burst as GW slid out of office, have nothing else to lose. Drop in for care when needed, then just buy a new cell phone with a new number..
Medical bankruptcies are nothing new, and I foresee them growing.
How can Insurance CEOs continue to pillage as their "customer base" shrinks?
The workforce coming along behind the Boomer Generation is going to be less affluent, and have less job security and probably a LOT less buying power.
The AFA and its mandate was what was needed for them to remain profitable for a long time to come.
Kill the law or strip the mandate, and within not all that many years, there will be an ever-shrinking customer base for them.
Every time they raise rates, more people drop off from non-affordability.
Employers may just rise up and stop ALL health insurance benefits for employees. Who buys the insurance then?
Individuals cannot afford care at the rates they now charge.
Ever since "managed care" has been in existence, we Boomers have been their main customers, and now we are gladly leaving them in our rear view mirror.
