Another swat for evil profitable companies

Companies: Obamacare is hurting our profit!

"UPS is moving its employees to a defined contribution health care plan, a change that will result in the company eventually booking a large one-time charge. UPS reported a quarterly profit of 98 cents a share, missing Wall Street forecasts by 9%, says S&P Capital IQ."


Personally I can't wait for July to see what the real numbers of PAID ACA users really are. I personally know three people who signed up, haven't paid a dime, and plan on dumping the coverage at the three month mark.

I wouldn't count on those numbers coming out in July. Just sayin'.

If you're trying to make the case that anecdotal evidence is just that, then how should we view leading indicators?

They won't be accurate. The astroturf is already laid. There are thousands of access centers funded by grants that process enrollments (some use insurance agents, some use "navigators") and have a separate set of grants to pay for the initial premiums of those deemed "indigent." All of the grants are federal in origin, but they are handled through private intermediaries first.

It's a big ass racket.
