My boss rants and raves about hating Obamacare, how it's tyranny, it's socialism, it's unconstitutional. I go through and ask him point for point about the law and he more or less SUPPORTS everything about it. When I point it that out to him, he mumbles about Obama being a Muslim and walks away.

You have to talk AROUND that with them.

Or,....you could just do like I do and and take great delight in telling them they are wrong.

and admin costs are about 3%

while the 20% cap on insurers admin/profits is an improvement,it basically guarantees that costs will be 17% higher

someone posted an aca calculator the other day...looks like the current admin expects for my household to spend 33% of our yearly income on aca

12,366 on premiums and another 12,700 out of pocket out of 75 grand income

but yes most business owners would think they had died and gone to heaven if their customers were mandated to buy their products and were guaranteed 20 %

what i am most disappointed by are the huge out of pocket expenses...12,700 a year was the number that came up ...for anyone with on going problems it will lead to bankrupcty
