Obama seems to have left a gaping loophole in this new heathcare tax of his. All you have to do is hire folks for 29 hours a week instead of 40? Won't all employers eventually do this? It may take some time for people to adjust to living on 75% of their prior budget, but simple arithmetic seems to make it necessary now, no?

The problem isnt Obamacare. The college was on a razors edge before obamacare. The problem is that too many unemployed and underemployed people do not pay taxes and the companies which make the profits to pay taxes, offshore said profits.

No, the unethical actions and greed of Obama are Obama's fault. The ACA is a corporate bailout for insurance companies and big pharma, and nothing more. This college is choosing not to support it, just like no business should.

As posted above, Americans spend way too much on healthcare and end up dying way too soon
Then blame the GOP - it was their idea. They thought it was better to make insurance companies richer, than to have universal healthcare and kick the insurance companies to the curb

Yes it is great that we have so many on Medicare/Medicaid now. Maybe if we can find some Dr. who will accept them as patients now ....
Obama just got elected to another term. If it is a real problem getting a physican G.P. I would dare to guess Obama will fix that problem?

Central planning = failure. You would think those pushing this would have learned from the failure of the Soviet Union.

There is no instance in which a government has run a health care program more efficiently than the private sector. The only way universal health care can adequately address rising health care costs is by limiting available care. Rationing of care is not an acceptable health care delivery principle, nor is it an appropriate way to contain heath care costs. Read about the often vaunted Canadian Health Care system from a physician who has lived and worked within that system.
Universal care ensures that everyone gets the same care but of necessity it will be of lower quality. In order to control the cost the government will limit payments and determine treatments. Doctors will be required to only use what the government determined was the "best practice" to treat your case, even if it doesn't work for you. They will be punished for using treatments that were not a listed "best practice." Government directed medicine will result in fewer practitioners because their practice is controlled by the government, not their ability.
The myth of Sweden as the successful socialist experiment continues to thrive – despite and in direct contrast to the available facts. On his blog, Carl Svanberg recently summarized the state of Swedish health care using recent news reports. It is a nasty image of advanced and high-tech health care that is unavailable when needed, strictly rationed, and where medical personnel dissuade dying people from seeking care.
Sweden's socialized healthcare is sometimes used as an example that America should follow. It proves that you can get good care for everybody. Does it
In the Swedish media there has been one report after another of people not getting any healthcare at all. In fact, they do not even get an ambulance
