CBS News reported this week employers are starting to drop health care coverage for employees as their current plans do not meet the minimum levels of coverage under Obamacare:
The government reportedly knew that millions of Americans would lose their employee health insurance due to Obamacare.
CBS News reports that the federal government originally estimated that millions of workers would be dropped from their health plans that employers provide because the policies did not meet the minimum standards of the Affordable Care Act.
An increasing number of small businesses are now beginning to feel the pinch are starting to cancel insurance coverage for their employees.
Increased rates and ongoing technical difficulties have also played a part in the decision by multiple business owners to discontinue offering insurance for those who work at their companies, CBS News is reporting.Rest of article

Another legacy of the evil Bush administration.
I am confident that Saint Baracke will prevail if only the racists will let him. Soon rainbow colored unicorns will be flying overhead, crapping out gold coins for all of the oppressed masses.
The danger for the Republican party is the same for the recent failed Romney run. The message is always "Yeah we care for the little guy; we just don't have a plan for you yet". Or "that is a state issue". "Elect us on the anti-Obama message; then we will come up with a plan for you"
The truth is they will cut corporate and partnership tax rates then make them cover healthcare for their employees.
That was Kim Strassel's point in the WSJ last week. She said there are plans out there but they have done nothing to promote them. Thus the Democrats took advantage of a vacuum. Letting it implode is one thing but the problem is still there and they need to actually get behind a plan and promote it. McCain's wasn't bad when he ran in 2008.
Wellpoint is promoting their non-exchange plans at the expense of the ACA act. It is on youtube. There are plans for states that were not dumb enough to make exchanges. Glad to be in a red state now.
Shell game. Everybody loses. Who winds up with the blame?
In an economic expansion or full employment, companies compete for talent using cadillac health plans. Now the companies would rather drop the health benefits like pension plans. ACA can be blamed, but they would drop it for the rank-and-file workers anyway and keep the goodies for executives.
Health insurance will be headed for the high deductible or catastrophic plans for everyone without ACA in place. That is the Republican plan. You will be in the individual market until you reach 65.
"That is the Republican plan. You will be in the individual market until you reach 65. "
Hey rube - nice try, but most readers of this site are aware not one single Repub voted for the ACA. Not one. Every single Repub amendment was shot down by Harry Reid.
This disaster is 100% a Democrat creation. They own it, we know it, and no amount of BS will fool the informed crowd.
You will do better with the low-information crowd, of course - "it's all Bush's fault".
Wasn't ACA based on a Romney's healthcare plan
When he was Guv in Mass ? And wasn't that plan
based on a plan proposed by the Heritage Foundation
way back ? Both parties tow the corporate line.
I'm surprised no one is talking about what the " added" coverage is and how limited the " dropped" policies are.
Nor is there a discussion of how health care policies came to be so damn bad that they didn't cover serious or chronic illnesses anymore.
