Polls show everyone hates ObamaCare, but apparently even Obama hates ObamaCare. Now his administration is suing companies for complying with a provision of ObamaCare.
Either that’s one hell of a post-election pivot or he must be one of those right-wing Republicans.
Reuters reports that Obama’s Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) has filed lawsuits against Honeywell International and two other companies because for some strange reason participating in ObamaCare is a violation of federal law.
The ACA encourages companies to institute wellness programs designed to preemptively cut down on health care costs by creating healthier employees. These programs include smoking cessation, weight loss, and regular check-ups. Employees are encouraged to participate in these programs by an up to 50% reduction in out-of-pocket health care costs.
The problem is, wellness programs are in direct violation of the American’s With Disabilities Act, which prohibits medical screening as part of employment. ObamaCare mandates that employees must undergo medical testing to be eligible for reduced premiums, yet federal law says this is illegal.
The corporations that supported ObamaCare are now angry and confused that they are being used by Obama for implementing ObamaCare.
Leading U.S. CEOs, angered by the Obama administration’s challenge to certain “workplace wellness” programs, are threatening to side with anti-Obamacare forces unless the government backs off, according to people familiar with the matter.
Major U.S. corporations have broadly supported President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform despite concerns over several of its elements, largely because it included provisions encouraging the wellness programs.
“The fact that the EEOC sued is shocking to our members,” said Maria Ghazal, vice-president and counsel at the Business Roundtable, a group of chief executives of more than 200 large U.S. corporations. “They don’t understand why a plan in compliance with the ACA (Affordable Care Act) is the target of a lawsuit,” she said. “This is a major issue to our members.”
The reason why is because Obama hates you and ObamaCare was written by a guy who spends all his time calling Americans idiots.
How did you guys really think a massive government medical program implemented by Mr. You Didn’t Build That was going to work?
