OBY won and the layoffs begin
Roberts had no idea what kind of can of worms he opened when he
said OBUMMER CARE was constitutional.
In wake of the election, the layoffs begin because of the regulations
O BUMMER CARE will impose (which is why we call it O BUMMER CARE) on a man in Vegas who employes 114 people. He laid off 21 and more are to follow like with Boeing.
I posted on election day that the real regulations will be imposed on
Wed. OBY ceased them during the campaign for fear of losing votes.
He has to 2013 to implement them.
This employer who started with nothing and buit his business up to 114
people just cant afford it.
More companies will do the same.

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
Boeing announces it is laying off 30% of its work force due to cuts in defense
spending taking it's force below 2010 levels.
Mitt made defense a key issue in the campaign because OBY was cutting
defense spending so this is what happens.

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
just my opinon but the First story sounds like grand standing (if it is true), because nothing has changed as far as the ACA is concerned. To me the timing is just off. either you werent able to afford them before and you were going to fire them, or you could carry them until you couldnt but want to make an example and blame Obama.
The second story while its true that Boeing is cutting its workforce, where has obama cut military funding? its more than doubled since hes been in office. I believe during the debates he was arguing that Romney wanted to spend more on it, while he said he gave them what they asked for. not cuts. if we are in fact removing ourselves from the middle east, why do you need an active war/wars budget anyway? sounds like a company thats retooling its approach because its no longer in demand, or in other words, good business.-JAB

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
Thats true but its a year plus away from being implemented. You can afford it right now, so why get rid of them now especially if you need them. Just leary of the story. Its just a guy that called into a radio station, if we believed that wed still have troy smith as our qb.

Businesses are planning for the increased costs.
We got a letter last year when it was passed to expect substantial increases to our healthcare costs.

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
You mean one like this.
**This email is directed to all ************* employees, who are currently eligible for benefits based on employment status**
This is the time of year when we review our options of employee benefit plans and make decisions about coverage for the upcoming plan year (January thru December 2013). For the past two years, we have been very fortunate to have received renewals that included no increase to our premiums. However - due to increased claims over the past year and plan/benefit changes dictated by the recent Health Care Reform laws, we received an initial notification this year from Cigna that our premiums would be increasing 15.67%. Because the company currently pays such a large percentage of the premium, that would be a significant impact to the bottom line, which is not affordable. We also realize that we must begin to plan now for the additional changes coming to health care in 2014 as a result of Health Care Reform. We have already incorporated some of the changes into our plans, but the majority of the changes are effective in 2014. Many of the details of the exact dollar impact we will feel are not entirely clear, but we do know that, as an employer, we will face increased taxes/fees and we have already been advised of some of the increases we can expect to see in premiums due to the plan changes dictated by the new laws. We are expecting premium increases of 15-20% in 2014 based on current parameters of Health Care Reform.

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
I didnt see anything major slated for 2013 on the timeline, but that was wiki.
i havent gotten a letter like the one you posted above but i have seen 10-15% increases to my insurance back all the way to the bush years when i started. I started in 2004 @ about 46$/month for 100% & im currently paying 88$/month for 90%. Both as a single. A 10-15% increase isnt anything new to me as long as its more stable afterward. Thats if they transfer the whole hit to us. My company is pretty conservative in its approach and vocal about whats going on. im surprised if this is the same for us why we havent heard about it personally, especially if others have. Makes me think it wont be much of a factor for us, in the past we were notified when it went up.-JAB

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
When do you elect your plans? If open enrollment is June or so, you may not hear about it till then, and that's if they choose to pass the cost of to you, I'm sure that depends on the portion they pay already etc.
The main things that are and will be affecting cost as HR said, is they are planning for the changes, so the timeline is semi - irrelevant. I will say what the insurance companies have to cover "at no cost" to the policy holder is why they are increasing the cost of insurance. They can't pay more for services you get without offsetting it by raising premiums...

Re: OBY won and the layoffs begin
Here is a good link for implementation timeline.
http://healthreform.kff.org/timeline.aspx
This is my favorite. Premiums will skyrocket because of this.
No Annual Limits on Coverage Not In Effect
Prohibits annual limits on the dollar value of coverage.
Implementation: January 1, 2014
