AHEC's good friend, Bob Beauprez, writes on his blog, A Line of Sight, that the McKinsey study (that shows as many as 50% of employers may stop offering employer-sponsored health insurance) is proof that ObamaCare is simply a precursor to a single-payer, government run health care system.
Bob writes: "The phony budget projections used to sell ObamaCare were based on just 2.5 percent of workers with current employer provided plans to switch – not 30 or even 50 percent! The real resulting impact to the federal treasury will be in the trillions according to former budget officials Douglas Holtz-Eakin and James Capretta. That's another big budget buster that Obama and the Democrats kept hidden behind the curtain when they rammed the bill through Congress. The end of employer provided health insurance benefits and consolidation into government controlled programs is a big step toward government controlled single-payer health care which has long been the not-so-subtle objective all along. Never mind that the we'll be bankrupt when we get there."
