[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1037417, member: 249"] So much naivety in your post. First off you are correct that UPS would love for us to pay part of our premiums, and Obamacare was just the ammunition they needed to get that ball rolling. An issue that may or may not have seen any changes in upcoming contracts will get alot more focus now since the company will be forced to bear a much higher than anticipated insurance cost. Regarding the cadillac health care tax, I want you to try your best to think this through logically. Regardless of who pays the tax the end user always pays for it. If the insurance company is hit with the tax then they hike the rates on the employer. When the employer has to pay the higher rates come contract times the employer will be more likely to push for higher costs for the employee or less coverage whichever area gets both parties to a middle ground. Just like when you increase taxes to a business that business passes that cost onto its customers who ultimately bear the tax, just indirectly. Its whoever the buck stops with is who gets the shaft regardless of where the increased cost originated, and in this case its the employees. [/QUOTE]
