Hey, read my post from 10-2 re. McDonald's mini-med policies. Here's the follow up.
Today Obama announced that 30 businesses will get a 1-year exemption from portions of Obamacare. McDonald's is one of the "chosen," the "exempt."
Good for you if you work for one of the chosen companies, but too bad, so sad if you work for any of the other thousands of companies who will be forced to comply with all Obamacare rules.
Right now it's a crap shoot if you are not a chosen employer. You are at the mercy of Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, waiting for them to decide what they like and whom they want to favor.
And what happened to the "lie" we were told that Obamacare would "level the playing field?" This exemption creates exactly what Obama claimed was a problem - an unequal playing field. What does he think this does??
Oh, yes, and there's the administration's promise that if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. What they didn't tell you is that you can only keep it as long as they allow for "exemptions" from Obamacare. Listen up, Folks, the exemptions granted today are only good for ONE YEAR. Then it is back to the rules.
This just goes to show what can happen when people with absolutely nil experience in anything decide they can govern an industry better than the industry can govern itself.
And this is just the beginning of the spreading malignancy known as Obamacare.
Congratulations, McDonalds and 29 other companies. You just shafted the rest of us.

MICKIE-D, MINI-MED PLANS WILL BE DEEP FRIED
Remember when Obama stated that he personally wanted a single payer health care system but would have to get it gradually? Well, he wasn't lying. The latest donnybrook started when Janet Ademy, WSJ reporter, this week reported that McDonalds may be forced to cancel its current coverage for 29,500 employees as a result of ObamaCare. McDonalds says new mandates will make its mini-med plans "economically prohibitive."
Mini-med plans are low-cost, low-benefit plans that cover 2.5 million consumers nationwide, mostly in low-wage industries like fast food, retail, and hospitality, where 75% of workers turn over every year and the average age is 25.
DemoBrats despise mini-med plans, believing they "under-insure" the participants, and new you-must-do-it mandates within Obamacare are designed to run them out of business by dictating benefits, eliminating coverage caps and establishing "rules" about how premiums must be spent.
Don't be fooled by the continuing propaganda from the White House about "if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance." They never intended for you to "keep your insurance."
The forced choice is between relatively affordable coverage that the DemoBrats don't like or dumping coverage entirely. Connecticut, Tennessee and Arkansas offer their own mini-med plans for state residents, and they too will be forced to cancel the plans.
Subsidized Obamacare options won't be available until 2014, but those costs will simply fall on the taxpayers. As if WE can afford more spending.
Read this carefully, People. The daily damage we are seeing as the guts of Obamacare are revealed is not unintended. It was premeditated. They just didn't tell you the truth.
Oh, I almost forgot, most of those who voted for it claim they didn't read it.
November Liberation is only 30 days away.

Hopefully then we can stop the madness -- or at least slow it down.
