If small businesses shop around for the cheapest insurance coverage, and buy it they will lose the "grandfather" clause meaning they will have to change all their employees coverages. Millions of people (some say up to 85 million people) will have their coverage change because of this and most of the cost will be passed to the employee. IE cost goes up.
It would have been very simple to make costs go down over night. Let people buy insurance over state lines. Cost would have went down. But god forbid that happens!

Hahaha, you should try reading that on a non republican news site.
It's not 30,000 New Yorkers, it's 6,000 children's policy of 30,000 union members.
And the Union never said it was Obamacare, what they did say was in 2008 they were forced by the State to join the Family Health Plus Program, and then had Medicaid funding cut 3 times by the State. In the last 3 years, they've had to drop HALF it's members.
So the State backed out of covering the kids, and now they don't have enough money to pay for them (because the state isn't funding them), and obamacare "did not help them" but it is not the reason of it, those reasons were years in the making. HOWEVER - it will be Obamacare that picks those kids back up, so they are covered.
Corps change insurance all the time, ours just recently changed. Costs went down. That's the point of changing it.
Yeah, god for bid the Fed steps in and forces the States to change laws that each State controls, then the Right would be bitching about that.
