45. And on the other side of that ACA coin
Fri Oct 18, 2013, 10:14 AM
Oct 2013

The flyer my employer put out about how much our insurance policy is going
up in January has upset and pissed off an AWFUL lot of folks. I work for Lowe's,
a Fortune 500 company. If OUR rates are going up that much, what's ACA going
to do to smaller companies?

When folks get hit in the pocketbook, they take notice. And if elections roll around
when they are pissed off and there is a TARGET for their frustrations......uh oh.

How many R's voted for ACA again?

All I'm saying here is let us not be patting ourselves on the back quite yet.

Too much time between now and November 2014. muntrv Oct 2013 #1
