Another Broken Promise (Lie)… Workers Will Pay More For Health Care Starting NEXT YEAR …Update: Businesses Too
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 2:01 PM
It should be obvious by now that the Obama-Pelosi regime lied about most everything in their health care bill before they rammed it through Congress.
Here’s the latest example:
In their health care report (screengrab above) Barack Obama and Joe Biden promised Americans:
Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.
It was a lie.
Your costs will not go down “by as much as $2,500 per year.” Instead you can expect to pay more… Starting next year.
The Republican.Senate.Gov released this report today:
“Workers Will Pay More For Their Health Care Next Year As U.S. Companies Prepare For Provisions Of The Overhaul Signed Into Law By President Barack Obama”
“Workers Will Pay More For Their Health Care Next Year As U.S. Companies Prepare For Provisions Of The Overhaul Signed Into Law By President Barack Obama, According To A Survey Released Today. About 63 Percent Of Businesses Plan To Make Employees Pay A Higher Percentage Of Their Premium Costs In 2011, said the Washington-based National Business Group on Health, which surveyed 72 companies that employ more than 3.7 million people. The survey showed 46 percent plan to raise the maximum level of out-of-pocket costs that workers must bear. The companies surveyed expect health-care benefits costs to increase an average of 8.9 percent next year.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
• “About 57 Percent Of The Employers In Today’s Study Said Their Workers Paid A Higher Portion Of Their Premiums This Year, And 36 Percent Of The Companies Increased The Out-Of-Pocket Maximums This Year.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
“New Mandates Under The Legislation Signed Into Law By Obama In March Will Contribute To The Increase, Helen Darling, the business group’s president, said in a telephone interview yesterday.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
UPDATE: Via HotAir:
Large companies will get hit with 9% increase in health costs under ObamaCare

Obama doesn’t much care.
He said so. He didn’t mind being a one-term pResident if that meant putting through his agenda.
down with dems commented:
Guess Obama doesn’t count this toward his “not one dime”

Obama is an illegal Muslim in this country. His mission is to destroy it. He is winning.
Galt commented:
Anytime the Dems tell you they’re going to make something “affordable” just assume that prices (and tax rates) are going up while market alternatives will be driven out by regulations and lawsuits.
Think health care. Housing. College. Etc. They’re from the gubmint; they’re here to “help you.”
Dave In Houston commented:
Will the Republicans have the courage to repeal this disaster known as Obamacare?
I hope so, but I doubt it.
Granny commented:
From what I hear people are seeing increases in the cost of health insurance already – some dramatically so.
No Man commented:
You dishonest racists!
It’s only a lie if you still have a job next year.
The regime is feverishly striving to ensure you are not lied to.
Militant Conservative commented:
Winning stratagey for the next generation of politicians. Not what new laws can be proposed but existing laws nullified and removed. Tell me your mission of striping the barnacles off of the constitution. powder is dry.
Granny commented:
No Man, read the fine print. You are required to buy “health insurance” whether you have a job or not. Of course they have to find those of us who refuse to comply first.

Yes, and if the majority refuses to comply, will they build huge prisons to house us? I want cable TV and a computer in my cell!
gus commented:
This Obama fellow is quite dishonest.
neomom commented:
Those of us that post here regularly and are not trolls knew this would happen. My Grandpa said “pay no attention to what a man says, pay attention to what he does”.
wow commented:
You are right Neomom. It was there for anyone even vaguely interested to see.
Pagar commented:
A court just issued an opinion that there is a constitutional right to lie as long as you are lying to original citizens. A jury just found a person guilty of lying to an FBI agent. And taxpayers/voters are surprised that they are being lied to. It’s just politicians exercising their constitutional rights. If you were really important you would be working for the government.
Bob Barker commented:
We were all told during Obongo’s speeches that we’d all save $2,500 each. Remember ? Methinks a you-tube video needs to be made.
Everyone knew it was a lie then, but we were told we were racists for doubting him. I want my $2,500 NOW, G-DD-MNIT!!
