If you have a union job, you shouldn't even be commenting on Obamacare - you already have healthcare coverage. Of course the unions are pissed - It's going to give healthcare, one of the primary cornerstones of being a union member, to everyone who isn't in a union. Why join the union when you get the same healthcare without it?
I don't believe in "loss of hours" because they employers don't want to pay healthcare. I think employers WANT to pay for healthcare, but it's not beneficial to them under the current system. (Under the current system it would my wife's employer more to provide us with healthcare then my wife's wages are!) Hawaii has mandatory healthcare laws and they have 92% coverage.
Will it increase the healthcare costs for some people? I'm sure it will. It will save me $600 a month AND give my wife's employer some additional benefits. My friend, who's family members has pre-existing conditions, will be able to change healthcare providers for the first time - saving him thousands of dollars a month.
I have yet to see a downside here? Can anyone show me a downside?

YOU just said "Will it increase the healthcare costs for some people? I'm sure it will."
There you GO..
Taking from one to give to another...
And just because you do NOT believe the hours thing.. LOL, so throw that out.. NOT.
NOT Every State is the Same.
Like I said, let's just wait and see...
I don't believe all these people saying their rates doubled either, so I tell them SHOW me...
I will find out soon. Have a very good friend who is diabetic. He currently pays $1,800 a month. He will try to get on the website next week..... I'll report back...
Another friend makes zero in income, and my state didn't take the 45 million or something to expand the Low to no income coverage, so she doesn't qualify, but IS required to buy insurance now????
IDK, I will check this one out myself also...
The Union thing does affect me, as I don't like the union currently. They are just another arm of government, and run like a greedy business also.
They are saying for this contract raises are staying the same, but a huge increase to what the company pays the union, because of the huge rise in health care... ummm What???
Pay me that money, not the Union and let me get my own insurance...
ANYWAY...
it's not all bad, not all good either!
Honestly they should of had a panel put this together. (ACA)
To me it looks like Obama is the Best Insurance sales man on the planet.
He is also the best gun & ammo sales man LOL....
