Democratic Genius

So the way that ObamaCare works, if a single employee files for a government subsidy for health insurance, the government bills the company for all employees at $2,000-$3,000 a head if the company has more than 25 employees. (Part-time workers count as half a person so I guess you could have 50 fully part time employees).

So lets say you’re a company with a lot of part-time employees for whatever reason. If you offer health insurance for your full time employees, and a part-time employee applies for the government plan, well now you’re going to be billed not just $3,000 for that employee, but $3,000 for all employees.

So the logical choice? Don’t offer health insurance at all. I mean, why pay twice?

Now some people think the Democrats are stupid for having stuff like this in ObamaCare.

I disagree. I think its pure genius.

First, the Democrats complain that all corporations care about is making money.

This is, of course, true.

Then, the Democrats promise to protect the populace from the evil corporations, and they do it in such a way that the only practical way for the corporations to proceed is to to screw the populace.

Then the Democrats complain that all corporations care about is making money, and that they will protect the populace from the evil corporations.

It’s genius.

But it pisses me off that my taxes are going to go up down the road because Walmart is going to dump all of their employees, both full and part time onto the government plan.
