George Will: ‘All hell is going to break loose’ in 2014 if employers drop insurance plans
December 2, 2013 by 1 Comment
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, while discussing the status report on the Obamacare web site released by the White House, columnist George Will warned that “all hell” could break loose in 2014.Administration officials say in the report that visitors to the government’s health care website will encounter fewer errors and the system now works most of the time, The Associated Press reported.
Pointing to the report’s claim that the team fixing HealthCare.gov “is working with private sector velocity and effectiveness,” Will sarcastically acknowledged that this is progress but stressed full functionality is still months away.
Will said that fixing the web site will not solve all the problems associated with Obamacare, suggesting that structural elements of the law could lead to other problems, such as employers dropping insurance plans, according to National Review Online.
“Watch the employers,” he cautioned,
“because if they start dumping people into Medicare and into Medicaid,
and the doctors then say, ‘The burdens are too high, and the
reimbursement is too low, we’re not seeing Medicaid patients,’ then all
hell is going to break loose.”
