Forbes Says Health Care Reform is Working!!!
Sat Jan 08, 2011 at 05:52:29 AM PST

From Forbes via Daily Kos:

The first statistics are coming in and, to the surprise of a great many, Obamacare might just be working to bring health care to working Americans precisely as promised.

The major health insurance companies around the country are reporting a significant increase in small businesses offering health care benefits to their employees.

Why?

Because the tax cut created in the new health care reform law providing small businesses with an incentive to give health benefits to employees is working.

..................

Private market insurance companies are experiencing significant growth because of a tax break provided by the PPACA. I may have missed the day this was discussed in economics class, but I’m pretty sure this is not a socialistic result of federal legislation.

1. No surprise.

And the fantasy air bubble that republicans and the Left are in gets smaller and less populated with life preserving air. Time to burst that comfortable, dreamland bubble and come into the real world people.

3. "Private market insurance companies are experiencing significant growth"

Hoooray for insurance companies. Because nothing is better for quality healthcare than an insurance companies' bottom line.

4. Do you disagree with the actual point of the article?

I can find negatives in everything too, but dwelling on it constantly is a killer.

5. Yeah, sorry about that.

I guess I should just smile and accept the premise that selling health insurance to people equals bringing quality health care to people. Because what's good for health insurance companies is good for America.
