◼ The End of Employer-Provided Health Plans Is Near - CNSNEWS.COM
Former Obama health adviser Zeke Emanuel predicted that Obamacare will replace 80 percent of employer-provided health plans will disappear in 10 years....
"It's going to actually be better for people. They'll have more choice," Emanuel said. "Most people who work for an employer and get their coverage through an employer do not have choice."
A Wall Street research firm S&P Capital IQ went even further than Emanuel's prediction to say that 90 percent of plans would disappear within the next 10 years, according to Fox News' Jim Angle.
Angle reported that analysts see this happening because the $2,000 Obamacare penalty is cheaper than the cost of the average employee's insurance.
"For a worker making only $15 an hour, typical employer coverage for a family costs $15,000 or $16,000. That's more than half of that worker's annual wage," said John Goodman of the National Center For Policy Analysis....
If the predictions are correct, up to 150 million people will be pushed onto Obamacare out of their tax-free employer-sponsored plans.
