Effects of ObamaCare
Austin Frankt: ObamaCare will destroy employer-sponsored coverage and that’s a good thing.
A report by the Center for American Progress and the Commonwealth Fund claims health reform will reduce health costs. Chris Jacobs slices and dices it here.
CAP and Commonwealth are probably the only two entities in the whole country that think Obama Care is going to reduce health care costs. But then they thought it was going to reduce costs before they ever saw the bill!
The whoe risk pool fiasco soundslike just one more bait and switch. One of many,many that we are seeing as part of “health care reform.”
I think the employer community is still asleep at the wheel on all this.
The most folks have to find coverage outside of work, the better.
Destroying employer-sponsored coverage is no great trick. The NCPA/Coburn/McCain plans would have done the same. But I would argue that it’s only a good thing if you first arrange an alternative. This feels more like gambling.
