After reading the links from Cheryl it's quite obvious that this law will not cost me or my employer a dime. Yawn. Enough with the hysteria.

The show "Washington Week" on Friday evening is probably the only show where rational people discuss (without yelling or confrontation) what happened during the week. They explain what happened and what it means for you and me.
Washington Journal on C-Span does pretty well also. For being on MSNBC, Chris Hayes usually has a decent show Saturday mornings.

Or---Perhaps the teamsters did know, and that is why it does not go into effect for 6 years, when it is too late for the members to do anything about it...

Because it is one of those things people decided shouldnt be taxed. Kind of a deduction/exemption in a way. just like the many other tax breaks we get, ex... mortgage interest, children, physical handicaps, business losses.
But I have realized lately that this obamacare is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth. Its going to give cheap healthcare to the poor at the expense of us here at UPS paying more for health care.

So Obama wants us to have Healthcare just not good healthcare? HIS healthcare. I really love my UPS insurance, it's one of the main reasons i'm with UPS. This would really suck if UPSers get screwed in this process.
I purchase my healthcare policy, thankyou very much.
Do you guys even bother reading what Cheryl linked? Fact is that if you end up getting screwed, it will be UPS that has decided to screw you. A conscious, calculated, greedy screwing and only with the consent of the union.
And the 40% tax is on only the amount above what is considered cadillac status?

Then you have seen firsthand what the ACA has done to healthcare insurance premiums. I don't think you will admit to it, but a lot of people have seen double digit increases in their premiums since Obamacare was signed into law, and that is just the start of it. Overtime this law will increase costs, decrease services, and lower the overall level of care the American people receive. The sad truth of it is that is what this law was specifically designed to do.
What exactly is the point of that anyways? If someone has an expensive healthcare plan then that is their business. The government should not tax an employer simply because some politician feels they are offering too lavish of a benefit package at some arbitrary dollar amount.
Well healthcare premiums have been sky rocketing for the past decade. Why put that on the ACA? And the point is that those on the right are using a tax scare. There's a big difference between taxing the entire amount and the amount above cadillac status, a difference I think you prefer to have obscured. My premium went down $100 a month. Don't know why.

You Obama haters whine that nothing gets done in congress or govt. Shame on the guy for trying to do something. Healthcare sure wasn't getting cheaper the old way. Maybe sit back and look at the results. Some guy in a chat room has no clue of the details, only what Michael Savage and Glenn Beck tells him.
