I don't really think that this is a much different result than if you asked each of these employers, "If the costs of benefits keep rising at the current rate, will you be likely to stop offering benefits in three years?"
Hell, if all they will have to pay is a $2,000 penalty per employee, I'm surprised the number isn't higher. The average annual premiums in 2010 are $5,049 for single coverage and $13,770 for family coverage.
The health insurance system is a disaster... Obama's plan didn't do anything to help it, but it can't make it any worse. The only people winning under the current system or Obama's are the health care & health insurance industries.

I just got a letter in the mail yesterday asking me to be part of a class action lawsuit aginst Farmers for the amount of $54 million or something like that but my end of the settlement would be $2.47, think I'll sigh and take the check just to stick it to Farmers, they got nailed for over charging for admin fee's or something like that.

Fumiko ?
I was part of a class action against Expedia because they charged overcharged by a few dollars on admin fees. I called the lawfirm up and declined .... they said only 13 people had declined so far. :shock:
My biggest beef is that Expedia has saved me tons of money and tons of time. Some of you under the age of 28 may be in shock that you once had to call airlines on a landline to book a reservation.
Got rid of DADT, won't defend DOMA, signed the ENDA, killed Osama Bin Ladin, passed a health care bill which, while not perfect in any respect, will go light years ahead of what we have now, got a lesbian on the Supreme Court, didn't get votes by fear-mongering and pitting one group of people against another...
And he actually won the election and wasn't given it by his daddy's friends.
I could come up with more but I've got some work to do.
No... Obama is not perfect and I don't think it would be at all possible to please everyone or at this time even most people. But I'll vote for him again because I think to not do so would be catastrophic.
cool !

Your mistake is going to FOX for your news. Married With Children and Simpsons are great but how can anybody take the talking heads seriously. Do you believe that Paul Revere rang his bell to tell the British " you anin't takin our guns."?

99% of his links are fox news.......to purposely go there for your news is strange. Might as well go to The Onion.
Such as.......? Don't just fan the flame, add fuel or shut the FUCK up!!!!

No reference to how they did the survey. My guess is that it's a voluntary survey, since you can participate in their research if you join Mckinsey's Online Executive Panel, which makes any conclusions drawn from data invalid.
What's your favorite flavor? Grape? Cherry? I bet it's the new Laughin' Lemonade Fun Fizz.

that is what i have been saying on this forum for a year. "obamacare" is a negative term meant to stir bias or emotion against it by painting it in a negative light. i had a phone survey several weeks ago and the first question was a negative statement about "obamacare" and gave me a likert scale asking to respond that i "strongly agree, agree, somewhat agree, no opinion, somewhat disagree, disagree, strongly disagree" the question was asked in a leading fashion, therefore was a bad question fishing for a specific response. i hung up and did not take the survey. the first question told me all i needed to know about the survey and it's objectives...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And that's all I got to say.
(except the guy who started this post also said gay men dress like women and "talk with a swish" so I'll add "homophobic" to the pile o' crap. 'Cuz why not?)
In all honesty, I don't understand. Why would you want to stick it to a farmer ?

In fairness, it's Fox News who put ObamaCare in there. I looked up McKinsey & Company, who did the survey, and they seem like a pretty well respected management consultant company. Of course, Fox probably cherry picked data and threw in the token, partisan "ObamaCare" a couple of times to inflame their base.

to me it just makes the reading or listining more interaining, and that's probably true with most FOX listeners,which is probably a ratings stunt ?

You use a lot of un-needed apostrophes.
not a big deal, just something I notice.
cool thanks for the heads up, that class in HS was one I should have spent more time in.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I can go into a topic and and agree or disagree with out being disrespectful..or I try anyway.
I don't have any ill feeling towards anybody on here to me it's just back and forth rambling that in the end of the day means very little me but also this is a good place to learn sometimes.
