The request yielded 1,100 pages of documents from four major employers: AT&T, Verizon, Caterpillar and Deere (DE, Fortune 500). No sooner did the Democrats on the Energy Committee read them than they abruptly cancelled the hearings. On April 14, the Committee’s majority staff issued a memo stating that the write downs were “proper and in accordance with SEC rules.” The committee also stated that the memos took a generally sunny view of the new legislation. The documents, said the Democrats’ memo, show that “the overall impact of health reform on large employers could be beneficial.”
Nowhere in the five-page report did the majority staff mention that not one, but all four companies, were weighing the costs and benefits of dropping their coverage."
Once again, Liberals learn that communism works great! Right up until the point where they run out of other peoples' money.
Have a great day!

This is exactly what they wanted to see happen. In response to all of these companies dropping insurance coverage for their workers they will have "no choice" but to change to a single payer government run health care system.
Never mind the fact that Europe is proving this model is unsustainable.
