Here's a hardworking Kenyan Islamic Indonesian Muslim with no executive experience whatsoever, and he gets elected President of the United States of America. You're white. What's your excuse? Women in the 1910s were barely a step above cattle on the political rights ladder (and that's 1910s cattle, not hippy dippy 2010s free range cruelty free cattle), and then we had women's suffrage. What's your excuse?
    He got elected president people people are fucking morons. He was elected by the MTV Generation really, that thinks celebrity is more important then reality. It's funny though, but I have already been hearing people on the left say "What experience does Rubio even have? He hasn't even completed a term as Senator" Go figure. But if what you are saying is I could get elected president and turn the country into a different political system, say dictatorship, I think you are sadly mistaken. Our constitution allows limited change, with a 2/3rds majority. Which is generally the political ruling class. Example.. why don't we have term limits? Because those in power don't want them.

    Thoughtful? Pardon me a moment.

    That's better, now I can get back to the discussion. Oh, right, middle ground you say? You are about as middle of the road as Carl Rove or George Soros.

    Our health insurance agent told us yesterday that our premiums may go up 30% or more when we renew. There's no way that we can shoulder that, so we will either need to drastically reduce coverage or opt to pay the penalty and let the employee's fend for themselves, which ultimately may be the best thing for them. They may be able to get better coverage through Obamacare than what we can offer them for the money, but if we offer them a plan even if it sucks, they would be ineligible.

    My conspiracy theory all along was that the goal was to price health insurance out of the business market and thereby force people onto the government plans. They couldn't get socialized health insurance to fly the first time around, so they needed to come up with a long term insidious plan that could get the job done before people figured it out.

    Unless an employer has only a few employees who are all sickly, then the employer will always be able provide a cheaper group policy than will be available to individuals on the exchanges. When you add tax considerations into the mix, both employer and employee are clearly better off trading cash compensation for insurance coverage. You need a new insurance agent.
