Democrats in both houses of Congress said some members of their party were getting nervous that they could pay a political price if the rollout of the law was messy or if premiums went up significantly.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire, who is up for re-election next year, said, “We are hearing from a lot of small businesses in New Hampshire that do not know how to comply with the law.”

In addition, Mrs. Shaheen said, “restaurants that employ people for about 30 hours a week are trying to figure out whether it would be in their interest to reduce the hours” of those workers, so the restaurants could avoid the law’s requirement to offer health coverage to full-time employees.

...

Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, Democrat of Maryland, said he told White House officials on Thursday that he was concerned about big rate increases being sought by the largest health insurer in his state. The company, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, has sought increases averaging 25 percent for individual insurance policies that will be sold in the state insurance exchange, and it is seeking increases of about 15 percent for small businesses. The company said the higher premiums reflected costs of complying with the new law.

Why, it is almost as if these people don't know what they're doing or something.

PS: We told you so.

Just because they "sought" 25% doesn't mean they will get it.

Anxious Democrats fear a botched implementation of ObamaCare could dash their hopes of controlling the House and Senate for President Obama’s last two years in office.

At his press conference Tuesday, Obama acknowledged “glitches and bumps” in the law’s rollout, but some congressional Democrats fear much worse.

One high-ranking Democrat told The Hill that it is his leading concern.

This is not done going to the Supreme Court. The law says that companies have to offer insurance and if they don't, the get fined if even one employee QUALIFIES for the Fed subsidy to buy insurance. Well, the law also says that these subsidies are only available in the state run exchanges. In those 26 or so states that refused to set up the exchanges, the feds have to go in and do it, thus making them federal run exchanges, not state. So, according to the wording in the law nobody in those states would be eligible for a subsidy and the employers cannot be fined.

The administration and IRS has already come out and said that wasn't the intention of the law and they will offer the subsidies and fine those that do not comply. However, there are already groups ready to sue based on the law's actual language. Should be interesting to watch.

The future of employered sponsored health insurance is:

 "Here is an extra $100 a month, good luck to you"

I say this because:
Employers can terminate their employee coverage, give their workers a raise with part of the savings, and let the taxpayers bear the cost of subsidizing their coverage in the Exchange

Thank a Democrat for that.

you have to pass it to know what in it

who is surprised that its a cluster f*ck?

seriously

Under equal protection, NO company should be getting an exemption (since, according to the Court, companies are people).

TRAIN-WRECK:

Today, about 17 insurers will finish filing more than two dozen separate policies and 2014 premium rate hikes for review by the state.

While several early filings lack clear comparison to 2013 rates, one by Providence Health Plans shows how federal changes in the individual market could translate to the sticker shock insurers have predicted.

Providence requests premium hikes of 53 percent for more than 8,000 policyholders who buy their own insurance. Providence officials say the new policies are completely different and not comparable to past years, with federal requirements of new benefits and lower deductibles.
