“From this day forward, all of the cynics, all the naysayers — they’re going to have to confront the reality of what this reform is and what it isn’t,” the president said. “They’ll have to finally acknowledge this isn’t a government takeover of our health care system.”

Well Barack, requiring all Americans to carry health insurance isn’t really health care reform.

-Caterpillar said it would cost the company at least $100 million more in the first year alone.

-Medical device maker Medtronic warned that new taxes on its products could force it to lay off a thousand workers.

-Verizon warned that “we expect that costs will increase in the short term.” While executive vice president for human resources Marc Reed wrote that “it is difficult at this point to gauge the precise impact of this legislation,” and that ObamaCare does reflect some of the company’s policy priorities, the message to workers was clear: Expect changes for the worse to your health benefits as the direct result of this bill, and maybe as soon as this year.
ObamaCare Day One Yes we should acknowledge just what this bill does.
