Obamacare May Cause Companies To Ship Jobs Overseas

On of the controversial points of Obamacare is that companies with over fifty employees will have to provide insurance for their employees, and the rates will go up for those that are already providing employment. With this making it harder for companies to make a profit, some of the companies may move their jobs out of the USA. It is just funny how the left, who is for the working class ends up shafting the working class every time they come up with these big solutions.

Let's face it, no one is for the working class. It's all about votes and money. Dems were pandering to voters who had no health insurance or who were having trouble affording it and that got them the 2008 and 2012 elections, along with promises of free stuff and an intense disinformation campaign. After Mrs. Pelosi said that they'll have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it, I don't see how any thinking person could vote for a democrat just because they're on that particular ticket. But then, most voters don't think and that's the whole problem. The rest of us have to suffer for their willful ignorance. The working class will continue to suffer and unless we stop it there will be two classes---the elite and the poor. I give it ten years or less to get that way unless people wake up and engage their brains.

Two classes is what Alinski taught and Obama was a good student.

You are so wrong. They ship jobs overseas because they are evil, hate this country, and want to save more money so they can go on lavish vacations. If they weren't so evil they'd already be doing what Obamacare would make them do. EVIL! There, I just thought you needed a left wing point of view here.

This is just one more example of why companies move out of a city, state or the country. Over reguation and over taxing. While traveling I stopped at several motels and noticed that the room rate was $69.00 per night and that seemed reasonable. When I got the bill there was a state sales tax of $4.90, a city sales tax of $1.40, a city occupancy charge $3.20 and a city room tax of $9.50 so my $69.00 room cost me $88.00. If I had stayed at one of the motels outside of the city limits my bill would be $73.90 a savings of $14.10. I wonder why there are so many motels located just outside the city limits? The same reason companies move overseas.

most companies I know already have Ins in place for employees and if the company changes ins. companys the rate they pay dont go up I know the Company that mu SIL works for keeps changeing Ins. Companies to get the best rate they can adn SIL pays big amount out of his checkevery 2 weeks even before O care. Ins copanys charge what ever they wantto charge its outrages most of the time. adn same with hospitals charge what ever they want too they have no regulation on what to charge per what eever they do to ya in there. My last stay is costing over $500 more than what Ins paid and to me they shouldnt be able to charge that as they charge enough in the first place for procedures grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr adn copy should be enough after we already have the monthly amount comng out of our checks

The libs are not pro worker...They are pro socialism, but as we should have learned by now, socialism will corrupt as soon as those in charge realize they can take advantage of the system...There is no Utopia in this world. The obamderthal has made it very difficult to move jobs offshore with the new fines and import regs. The small businesses will just close and the larger ones will move and not sell in the US. This will be a loose loose situation all around.
