Probably more layoffs and benefit cuts
Posted: Jun 25, 2017
Under the Senate health care plan, employers will no longer be required to offer health insurance. I am guessing the big transcription companies are already planning to use this to layoff employees--you know, "minimum wage is too high in your state, employee benefits too good in your state, now you want health insurance too?"
Given the choice of not being required to provide health insurance, "not being able to find MTs willing to work for a pittance," and offshoring to some foreign country, what do you suppose will happen?
Get on the phone to your senator and let them know if you think this is a good idea.

Lack of benefits is direct cause of Obama's failed policies and Obamacare.

Jobless Claims Jumped Again. More Layoffs Feb 04, 2010

Romney Would Index SS Benefit To Prices Rather ThanSep 22, 2012
Here's short explanation (if you stick to the summary at the top) of the effects of the various ways we can handle SS benefit increases. It really seems like our choice is to either 1. Accept lower and lower payments over the years, indexed to prices (Republican plan), or 2. Increase our SS tax paid with each paycheck now (7.5%+ us and 7.5%+ employer) and get benefits that keep pace with general income levels over the years, indexed to wages (the way we've been doing it). http://www ...

Tax Cuts Passed 277-148 And Reid/OmnibusDec 17, 2010
They worked late into the night to pass it. It will cost $858 billion but it gives everyone a "breather" for a while. Reid pulled the Omnibus bill off the table; i.e., just died. John McCain, Tom Coburn, and Jim DeMint were the reason because they wanted the bill read page per page. Guess Reid didn't want the people to know what was really in the bill.

Dems Considering Keeping Bush Tax CutsJul 22, 2010
Democrats are considering a plan to delay tax hikes on the wealthy for two years because the economic recovery is slow and they fear getting crushed in November’s election. It could mean a big reprieve for families earning $250,000 and above annually. President George W. Bush’s tax cuts will expire at the end of the year unless Congress acts to delay their sunset. Some Democrats are now arguing forcefully that a delay is a win-win plan that would help the federal ...

Not Romney But OBAMA Proposes Cuts To FEMA!!Oct 30, 2012
See pages 94-96 of Obama's sequestration budget plan. Yes, Romney believes that FEMA has been over-funded for the results that we've actually gotten from the agency (which are perfectly miserable) - but the difference is, Romney plans to redistribute the money to the states and it isn't therefore a cut to emergency funding. Under Obama's plan, the money would be used to fund OBAMACARE. Got knowledge? ...

Obviously, parties are given to hyperbole, but the reality according to the Center [for] Tax Policy is that 90 percent of the benefits in this plan go to families making $700,000 a year or more, the one percent. That is a fiscal reality." He demanded ...
