Pelosi: It’s Good for Employers to Drop Their Health Plans
In an interview with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo on Friday afternoon, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about the ominous headlines surrounding ObamaCare — the law’s many waivers to union plans, the recent CLASS Act debacle, and the survey from McKinsey (among MANY others) indicating employers will drop insurance coverage. Pelosi responded by saying those headlines reflect only one side of the story, and that “on the other side, the way we see it is an innovative prevention-oriented way for businesses to be emancipated from health care costs because they have a way out or whatever works for them.” (Exchange is at about 7:00 of the video).

wow…So it’s called “Innovative prevention-oriented” to leave employees to the exchange and have the employer pay the fine? Maybe a few more buzzwords will make people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Is Nancy Pelosi’s foot small? Or is her mouth that big? The reason why I ask is because she always seems to be putting her foot in her mouth.
Does Nancy Pelosi not have any media handlers? She always seems unprepared for interviews. I wonder if her immense ego makes her assume what comes out of her mouth is golden and there’s no need to become familiar with talking points relevant to the issue she’s being interviewed on.
That’s an interesting choice of words.
You should understand that Rep. Pelosi isn’t very familiar with concepts like work, industry, jobs and those sorts of things. It doesn’t occur to her why anyone should need to work if they don’t want to. Why can’t the government take care of us?
So it follows that if employers drop their health plans, according to Rep. Pelosi’s understanding of the world, it will have a negligible effect on their employees.
I think she found out what was in the bill after she passed the bill, like the rest of us.
