According to the McKinsey report referenced by Howard Dean
30% of small businesses will not be able to provide health insurance owing to excessive health care regulations resulting from ObamaCare.
If your retired now and have a medicare supplement provided by your employer it may well disappear?
Folks ObamaCare has to be repealed

Where did you get these numbers?
How much do you think you are paying on hospital and other medical bills for folks who do not carry insurance, are indigent or illegal? A LOT. Everyone needs to pony up and pay a portion for medical care. Who do you think is paying for it now. WE ARE!!!! Medical costs are ridiculous. I just got a bill for blood tests for $75. Insurance was billed $11!!!! I paid about $2. So what do you think the inflated $75 price was for? If the practise took $13 for it, what do you think the real cost to them is? Why do you think the bill was $75?
Poor folks use the ER for their kids colds...the MOST expensive kind of medical care. Illegals use them even more. Many ERs in California had to close because they could not afford to provide care for them and the law says you have to triage exam everyone who walks in your door. If a woman is actively in labor, you have to deliver the baby in your hospital.
No health care plan is going to be perfect, but we have to start SOMEWHERE. If the repubs had gone with the Clinton health care reforms, we would probably have a pretty good plan by now.
