McKinsey Survey: 3 in 10 employers to drop health insurance as soon as Obamacare kicks in

No.  Tell me it ain't so, Joe.  I for one am shocked.  Shocked.  Businesses behaving in rational self interest?  Looking at thousands of 'waivers' and realizing the whole thing is a rigged scam?  Didn't see that one coming, nosiree.

There is a story in Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy - about a space ship - The SS Suicidal Insanity, I believe was the name.  It was designed with an improbability field to guarantee that nothing could ever go wrong.  Ever.  Unfortunately they mis-configured the field - accidentally setting it in a way that guaranteed that everything would go wrong all at once.  Upon launch the ship experienced a total existential failure and disappeared without a trace.

Which is what I predict will happen to Obamacare.  Obamanomics:  chaos in all directions, as far as the eye can see....

CBS MarketWatch:"Once provisions of the Affordable Care Act start to kick in during 2014, at least three of every 10 employers will probably stop offering health coverage, a survey released Monday shows. While only 7% of employees will be forced to switch to subsidized-exchange programs, at least 30% of companies say they will 'definitely or probably' stop offering employer-sponsored coverage, according to the study published in McKinsey Quarterly."
