Funny thing. They've been essentially on Obamacare for decades. They get healthcare through exchanges which allow them to choose the coverage they want as long as that coverage meets ACA requirements. This is what the state exchanges are being set up to do according to ACA requirements.<br /><br />There is no "government roll". ACA is not a government program. It is a set of rules by which private insurers, private hospitals, private care providers, and private drug companies operate in order to provide near universal coverage without limitations of pre-existing conditions, etc.<br /><br />Did you notice the private insurers part? They are the ones who provide coverage. The exception is Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA, as it has been for decades.<br /><br />Businesses have been adding surtaxes forever. Like for increased transportation costs due to high gasoline prices.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.com
