What happens to businesses if they have to insure 65-67 year olds?? [View All]

If they have to pay the healthcare of their 65-67 yr old employees, the highest, uninsurable group,
it will wipe out any payroll tax benefit they get on existing payroll. You'll see 60-65 yr olds laid off or fired. Who will hire the group that is the reason Medicare was created? Remember, the war on poverty? No one in the private sector would insure them! So they gave them public insurance, Medicare. Now...employers are suppose to pay for them? Whatever is left of business here in the U.S will be gone, unless they lay them off. Then what? How will a person without a job, pay for private healthcare, the most expensive policy a person can buy??? This is reform???

It's moronic! at best.....and this was a "jobs" speech? :puke:
