cause them big hits were actually REQUIRED to report this. Then, he was going to drag them into hearings to explain this when they were required to do so! --really really dumb.

You missed the part where the COMPANIES requested a delay to, - (Brace yourself) GIVE HCR A CHANCE!!!

Waxman responded to THEIR requests. The companies seemd to have adopted a "wait and see" how it is implemented stance, asserting that if implemented properly, HCR could actually (gasp) EASE their costs.

Nice try, but half truths are also half lies, aren't they?

Healthcare Overhaul=2800 Page Bill+20,000 Pages Mar 13, 2013
of regulations, 828 pages just this year so far. They have decided that even though health insurance is mandated, it will only cost $100 the first year if you don't have it. The federal regulators wrote these regulations, of course. Who will have to deal with the regulations? Insurance accuaries, state insurance commissioners and insurance companies---the people who know how to deal with it.   Watch this video. It's good info:  http://video.foxnews.com/v/2221945315001/828 ...

Health Overhaul's Assault On BusinessMar 19, 2010
Health Overhaul's Assault On Business Posted 07:07 PM ET Taxes: If ObamaCare becomes permanent, no one will suffer more than U.S. businesses.

The heavy-equipment giant reckons its insurance costs will go up 20%, or $100 million, the first year after the health care system is overhauled, and may go even higher. Multiply that by literally tens of thousands ...

Healthcare's Bipartisan Problem. Almost Half Of Healthcare SpendingJan 13, 2017
healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

I say bring it out into the light again and let the chips fall where they may. That's the only thing that will save the sane part of the Republican party. Otherwise the whole party is doomed to be a party of ...

It also explains the meaning of the "10 essential benefits" insurers need to provide to qualify for Obamacare.
