---On the day President Obama signed Obamacare into law, Verizon sent an e-mail to all its employees warning that the company’s costs “will increase in the short term.” And in the medium term? Well, U.S. corporations that are able to do so will get out of their prescription-drug plans and toss their retirees onto the Medicare pile. So far just three companies — Deere, Caterpillar, and Valero Energy — have calculated that the loss of the deduction will add a combined $265 million to their costs. There are an additional 3,500 businesses presently claiming the break. The cost to taxpayers of that 28 percent benefit is about $665 per person. The cost to taxpayers of equivalent Medicare coverage is about $1,200 per person. So we’re roughly doubling the cost of covering an estimated 5 million retirees.

5/1, says the Supreme Court throws out BoCare.

Bo knows, or i should say he expects this to happen. Which makes his critical comment about their decision, during his address, an open door for the media to jump on the Court, when this issue breaks.

AND and and, just you wait for BtheO's new appointment to the Supreme.

BTW, i think he just sneakerly put in about a dozon fed judges lately.

OH, ATT gonna drop bout $100 million along with the others, more to come .

But it was OK for unions to have it. Level the playing field. Both or neither.
