No kidding

Thirty percent of employers will definitely or probably stop offering health benefits to their employees once the main provisions of President Obama’s federal health care law go into effect in 2014, a new survey finds.

The research published in the McKinsey Quarterly found that the number rises to 50 percent among employers who are highly aware of the health care law.

This is not news. This is what the VRWC said when this garbage first was put forward. We actually read the bill. Or at least the important parts. And Republicans understand how business works. It is cheaper for any mid-sized or larger company to pony up the $2000 fine and let the government be the health insurance provider.

Hey, in 3 years, will it be news when the insurance companies start going out of business? Because that will be Round 3. Face the truth: without the policy income generated by those millions of corporate policies, the health insurance companies are going to shrivel up and die.

And then Big Brother will control, co-opt, and commandeer the entire insurance industry. And guess what will follow? Who wants to be the first to say the “DP” word? And guess which party will immediately try to cut costs by using the “die quickly” ploy?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
