Not because of Obamacare they haven't... they were planned increases laid out over 5 years ago.

You can keep your Doctor if you keep your current insurance. Like anytime you switch insurance, you may have to change Doctors.
That means 69% of the businesses with 50+ employees, don't offer coverage at all or only part coverage. So yeah, when they "upgrade" to full coverage or from no insurance to insurance, they'll have to change doctors.
Now for those really small companies, they get a tax break.. I wonder what % of companies have less than 25 employees or are self employed people.... shit tons!
AND States actually regulate this based on the law, you should read it one day.

61% of the people are confused... healthcare would have 'already' added to the federal deficit, Obamacare added "less" than doing nothing.

That's because it's now mandatory to cover them, thus they don't need that 'category' and make it look like a loss. This is nothing but pure corporate spin.

I had to file another tax paper last year, it about broke the nation. Another box on my w2 isn't going to kill me.
The tax credit is for small business, the smaller the business / pay structure, the better cut they get and the bigger they are, the less they get. So in the scale of things, it 'appears' it only covers 1/10th, but the reality is it covers all small business and scales up.

What is a smaller employer? People under 50 staff wont see anything hit them, those with under 25 will get a credit... really it's the 100+ that the Burden starts to hit, and more so the bigger you are.
So who are these companies with 100+ staff, with 'zero' insurance that are going to have this burden hit them. A company with 100 staff pays out about 5 million a year in wages. If they 'refuse to cover ever staff member', the State/Fed will cover them, and the company will be fined $75k a year or $750 per.
Roughly 1.5 more staff a year to cover the fine... yeah probably going to brake those 100+ staffer companies right in half.

By 2019, U.S. spending on health care will reach $4.6 trillion.

And without the bill, it would have been higher.

How are doctors refusing to take something that hasn't started and actually is covered a different way? Very odd to say the least.

Is that because the poor are minorities or something? Because the video of the free care tents had a shit ton of white people in them, unclean, out in the open, getting medical help - I have a feeling people with no coverage are okay with shitty coverage.

That's because the media filled the people with shit tons of lies that are now coming out and back firing on them.

This has been explained to you several times... The Corp, Insurance Company and Major Corps/Unions have worked for decades to get the benefit layout they have, costing Companies/Unions/The Fed billions in legal fights already. To them it's not insurance, it's everything... from people they can't cover (ie why they got the waiver) part time people, 401k benefits, retirement, sick days, etc, etc, etc.... it's not "insurance" it's an entire system that every penny helps balance the other parts out.
I get this, like I get the back of my hand, I truly don't understand why this eludes you so much.
