ObozoCare vs. Grocery Prices

Think that ObozoCare won't slam you?

Think again.

Obamacare will cost large U.S. employers between $4,800 to $5,900 per employee. 

Large employers expect overall Obamacare-related cost increases of between $163 million and $200 million per employer, or an increase of 4.3 percent in 2016 and 8.4 percent in 2023 over and above what they would otherwise be spending. --quoted at PowerLine

In the study, "large employers" were those with 10,000+ employees.

Roundy's--which is Pick'N'Save and MetroMart--employs more than 20,000.

So.  How much is a pound of ground beef?

More.

"an increase of 4.3 percent in 2016 and 8.4 percent in 2023 over and above what they would otherwise be spending."

From the report that Power Line cites:

"From 1998 to 2003, employer health care costs jumped by an average 8.3 percent per year."

That's 8.4% total over 10 years vs a historical 8.3% per year.

I'd take Obamacare.

...until you start paying the deductibles and co-pays, turkey.

Read the REST of the study.

You are wrong, Dad29. You're just too much of a pussy to admit it.
