I saw a revealing quote from our HHS secretary today as she attempted to downplay what are expected to be underwhelming Obamacare sign up numbers for 2016. I'm paraphrasing here, but she said, they (the Government) expected that as Obamacare came of age, that there would be a shift away from employment-based healthcare towards the ACA, and that this shift has not occurred.
See the problem here is that our HHS secretary has a typical leftist view of US employers... She assumed that everything she had been taught about American companies was true... that they are cruel, heartless and hate the fact that they actually have to pay their employees. She believed that the very second that Companies saw a way to stop having to pay for employee benefits, that they would jump at the chance and throw their employees to the wolves in an attempt to further boost their already ill-gotten profits.
But somewhere along the way, the free market intervened.
See, it didn't happen that way did it? Turns out in the free market, companies who want to attract and retain the best employees have to offer those employees something better than the shit show that is Obamacare... quality affordable Health Care, tailored to each individual employee's needs, and purchased on the open market
Free Market - 1
Obama - 0
