Millions Have Lost Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance | MediBlog

Employees are being cut from their company insurance so that their employers don?t have to pay Obamacare penalties. Other companies are trimming staff altogether. With all the new taxes involved, they cannot afford to purchase expensive coverage for all workers.

Small businesses can save tremendous amounts of money by setting up a group health plan with MediBid. This uses HSAs so employees can get affordable medical care while having control of their own medical treatments.

Whether the decline in employer-sponsored insurance over the past 18 months is a product of Obamacare or of the Obama economy ? and whether Obamacare is the principal cause of the anemic performance of the Obama economy ? can be debated. But what?s clear is that, more than 25 months before Obamacare would really go into effect ? if it?s not repealed first ? employers are already dropping employees from their insurance rolls.

Take Walmart, for example ? a prominent Obamacare supporter. Gallup writes,

?The nation?s largest private employer, Wal-Mart, announced in October that new part-time employees who work less than an average of 24 hours a week would no longer be able to get their health insurance from the company. Wal-Mart laid out several other cuts to its health insurance offerings, including some workers? ability get coverage for their spouses. Other companies have already made and will likely continue to make similar changes to their health insurance benefits?.

?If Wal-Mart?s decision is a precursor of how employers intend to manage their healthcare costs, the downward trend in employer-based healthcare will likely continue.?

So in addition to costing about $2.5 trillion over its real first decade (2014 to 2023), looting nearly $1 trillion from Medicare over that time (according to the CBO), forcing Americans to buy government-approved health insurance under penalty of law, and amassing unprecedented power and money in Washington at the expense of Americans? liberty ? if Obamacare stays on the books, you may like your health care plan, but that doesn?t necessarily mean you can keep your health care plan.

It?s time to repeal Obamacare.

At MediBid, we restore market forces to medical care. Doctors get to set their own rates based on their training, experience, and outcomes, and patients get to shop for medical care across state lines and international borders. Many times with MediBid, you will find procedures that are more effective than procedures allowed, or covered by health plans. Transparency and competition are the only way to achieve reasonable costs. Many of our employer clients offering group health insurance through MediBid save $5,000 per employee per year. Those are substantial savings. Patients are saving an average of 48% vs. insurance discounted rates, or 80% vs. retail. Contact us for more information.
