[QUOTE="Brown Widow, post: 849366, member: 35438"] Thank you. IMHO the writing was on the wall that this would happen with corporations/companies as soon as this whole debacle was proposed by Obama. One only had to look at what UPS did to Senior retirees when Medicare Part D was created. Tossing a person, with pre-existing conditions, into the exchange will result in a much higher premium than is currently paid by UPS because they have a group plan and the costs are distributed evenly. Likely UPS will offer a defined dollar amount to help each person purchase insurance, much as they did/do with Medicare Part D coverage. That will work out okay for some, not so much for others. I pray UPS does not cut us loose. So much for "If you like your doctor...blah, blah, blah," that Obama said. Reality is different than the fairy tales they are telling. Their hope is that all corporations/companies will follow suit and then they'll have the opening to institute universal care. This was intentionally badly written legislation. To be sure, there are serious issues that needed addressing, but there had to be a better way. [/QUOTE]
