  I am soooo tired of seeing his name here!...it just looks too much like mine. As much as i think he is pathetically inexperienced...like palin......i kinda hope he could fix healthcare. my little biz is now going to have to pay 79k this year for healthcare for just 16 employees and their family......and that is only with us paying 60 percent of the premium....and for 5 straight years we have had to raise our deductable........this sucks...for 15 years i was so proud to pay 100 percent of the insurance benefit, but now i cant.......it is depressing.......i am a small business, and really can not afford the 79k i have to contribute this year (tears in my eyes dammit).....the oldest employee i have is only 50 years old.......and when that happend our rates went to hell even faster....one kid.....only 11 years old is 179 bucks a month!!!!............dammmmitall.................oompa

  What can you do? Remember to look after yourself first, and everyone else second. If we all took on everyone's problems, we'd all have heart problems.

  You've done what you can. Try not to beat yourself up over it.

  When I first saw the name of this thread i thought obama and Oompa was joining forces. I was thinking to myself now thats a ticket that would have the country reeling for centuries to come. The double O's in complete control.
  
  I was just visualizing in my mind Oompa getting up on the stage and telling everyone how his former religion helped him to become a better man by showing him how not to treat others.(heehee)

  if you un-privatize healthcare we will all pay 50% of our wages to taxes.

  I say shooot the lawyers and beat the shit of the juries giving out mega millions in medical lawsuits.

  doctors malpractice insurance is going sky high, and the doctors sure have a right to make more than you and me for 12+ years of university.

  Can you shop your plan? I can see you take a lot of pride being able to provide excellent coverage for your employees.

  We had a similar situation, being able to provide the best plan, with zero hospital and $10 office copay. As rates went up I could no longer offer it. So Blue Shield came back with a nice offering of plans from a $5 co pay HMO or a PPO to a $25 copay. We will pay a certain percentage and people can buy up or down according to their needs.

  Sorry for the troubles. Hope it works out.
