4M people lost their "if you like your employer benefits" insurance in 10 days

[floridafan]

How is it a lie?

Your boss can decide at any time to cancel the "if you love your employer plan you can only keep it if you employer decides to" plan.

4 million people lost their "if you love your employer plan you can keep your employer plan" in the last ten days.

That must make you very happy, afterall profits are always more important than people. It the republican creed.

What employees? We are on the way to having over 30 percent of Americans unemployed.

Just about every closed small business here in my area is keeping their employee's health care up for them as long as they can afford to.

I am asking you to prove your lie. Post your proof or STFU!

I don't understand what I must prove to accommodate you?

That 4M people were kicked off their "if you like your employer plan you can keep it" plan?

Or that your boss can decide to cancel your health insurance at any time they want?

What is the lie?

[RB 60]

That must make you very happy, afterall profits are always more important than people. It the republican creed.

Most employers are Republican, especially the ones around here.

So what happens when they can't anymore?

Have they thought that far ahead?

Have you?

This doesn't make me happy.

Maybe you're misunderstanding me.

I support Medicare for All because tying health care to employment is stupid, expensive, and risky.

Most employers are Republican, especially the ones around here.

Then they must be thrilled that government was shrunk so much it couldn't respond effectively to the pandemic.

BTW - in employer-provided plans, the employee still has to pay premiums, copays, and deductibles.

So what happens when the employee isn't getting paid, but the employer is still paying for the insurance? How is the employee supposed to pay their share of the premiums if they don't have any work?

[Cinnabar]

The question no one ever asked them; What if everyone wants Medicare for All?

Of course the MSM debate moderators were not going to ask that loaded question. They kept repeating...

Senator Sanders, how are you going to pay for it?" "Senator Sanders, how are you going to pay for it?" "Senator Sanders, how are you going to pay for it?" "Senator Sanders, how are you going to pay for it?" Despite the fact that he answered them over and over again in the previous debates.

The "boss" doesn't decide shit unless he's the owner or CEO. Damn, you're an idiot...

Of course they do. Your boss has the final say on what insurance they provide you.

So if your boss decides they don't want to provide your insurance plan anymore, then you lose your insurance plan.

So you don't get to keep it if you like it...you only get to keep it if your boss likes it.

The illusion of choice.

"4 million people lost..." is a total lie.

Oh word?

Because as of March 26th (5 days ago), 3.28M people had already lost their jobs and the insurance tied to those jobs. More people are being laid off every day. So 4M is a conservative (small C) estimate.

More Than 3 Million Americans Lost Their Jobs Last Week. See Your State.

Of course, we know how it is paid for...swapping a payroll tax for premiums/deductibles/copays/coinsurance/vision/dental/coinsurance/ambulance fees/hospital stays/prescription drugs.

Doing so saves at least $1T.

Even the Mercatus Center says so, and they are Koch-backed.

It is obvious you don't participate in a workplace.

It is obvious you don't participate in a workplace.

What's obvious is that every instinct you have is wrong, and every judgment you make is poor.

And because your life has no meaning, you live vicariously through Trump.

Which means you are unable to handle any criticism of Trump, because it would be criticism of yourself.

So you're basically in a death cult now.

So you can't refute my post. I didn't think so...

Your "post" was just your little tantrum, fantasizing about me because you know there's no defense of the poor choices and lack of good judgment you've made throughout your life.

Now we are all facing the consequences of that poor judgment because of who you chose to vote for in 2016.

So as you sit at home in isolation, vulnerable to an invisible virus that doesn't discriminate, you conclude that you've made good life choices?

You haven't. You've just joined a cult.
