| #5 I got a call the other day asking if I thought California corporations should be forced to pay more tax in order to fund benefits for "public safety workers". I said no, she sounded shocked. I said that California has probably the highest corporate tax rate in the world, if you increase it even more, the ones we have are going to fold or leave. Then I reminded her that most "corporations" have fewer than 100 employees yet together provide over 50% of the jobs in California. They don't want to kill the golden goose, they want to bolt it into a hydraulic press and destroy it. |

| #4 The insurance co. will simply pass along the cost to ALL customers. Idiots (politicians, liberals & progressives). The lefties were very careful in crafting this Rube Goldberg machine: premiums spike immediately and over time; constituents scream bloody murder; lefties ride to the rescue demonizing insurance companies and utilizing their newfound regulatory powers to limit premium increases; insurance companies die quick deaths in bankrupcy court; lefties (they hope) implement full-on socialized medicine. They're not idiots by any stretch of the imagination, they're just on the other side. |

| #3 My premiums went up $260 a month because of this. We had to go to a cheaper level with less coverage for only $120 bucks more a month than what we were paying for the better insurance before. Goddamn Obama and his lackeys. |

| #1 Well, for one thing: ...40% excist tax on the value of employer-sponsored medical insurance...tax would be paid by the insurance company, not the employee Ok. Defined for the mental midgets of DC and MSM (& BO trolls) that do NOT understand economics: ALL customers of said insurance company will pay higher premiums as a result of this tax and the way it is structured from this vain attempt to penalize the insurance company. The insurance co. will simply pass along the cost to ALL customers. Idiots (politicians, liberals & progressives). |
