Oh yeah. It's a political backlash vendetta against the ACA, er, "Obamacare". Anything that Obama touches, is scorned by some businesses. And actually, this is quite unusual. As the pharmaceutical & insurance companies actually WROTE the ACA, didn't they? PO trusted them to do the right thing and looks to me like they screwed him in the process. At least, that is what sticks out to me. How far off am I? Sorry if I hit a nerve and I apologize for not taking time to read the article.
