[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1094434, member: 43436"] Total B.S. For many years, the cost & quality of health care one receives in this country has been dictated by his/her employer. That doesn't seem fair to the worker, nor does it seem right for the employer -- hence why many companies began reducing & eliminating health insurance in search for bigger profits. The snowballed effect of the un/underinsured has burdened the system such that costs continue to soar against inflation. We've had a crisis, and without any intervention more and more companies will continue to ditch health insurance. This burdens UPS much more than ObamaCare. Do you know why doctors oppose ObamaCare? Because they stand to make less money. As it stands, people go to the doctor sick only to be told "oh, you have the flu ... get plenty of rest and you'll feel better in a few days" -- and get charged $200 for the piece of advice. Among other things, ObamaCare attempts (but does not mandate) for basic services to be handled by physican's assistants and nurse practitioners -- people with advanced educations who are more than capable of handling most office visits at a much lesser cost than a doctor. (And if you've been to a CVS / Walgreens / Walmart clinic this is who you've seen). [/QUOTE]
