the proximate cause for the ending of employer paid health insurance at this hospital; then, the fees attached to the hospital for the new insurance is enough for them to stop offering paid insurance to the top managers at the facilities as well as reduced pricing for all employees; or maybe it is just being used as a ruse for change, substantive or not. I don't know. My wife pays nothing for health insurance and I get it at a nominal price. Yes, we could pay for the insurance as I am sure there will be a phase-in period but there are other things about to happen with health insurance and taxes that will be unpleasant. Now, the facility is working on obtaining a waiver on fees, and because of the type of care this hospital does, they may well get it. I am glad that everyone will be insured after Obamacare, although I was pushing for Single Payer. But its implementation leaves quite a few harmed, including us. If we stay in the US, where we have always lived, we'll go on Medicare, which I have a suspicion will be a disaster for diabetics like me. It may be time to go, in one way or another.
