Henderson Official Speaks Truth About ObamaCare

From the LVRJ: Henderson's human resources director is inadvertently starring in a video that has provided new fuel this week for Mitt Romney's campaign.
The low-quality video has been posted on the Internet and shows Human Resources Director Fred Horvath telling employees that the cost of their health insurance premiums will increase by about $500 a year because of the federal health care law, commonly called Obamacare, signed into law by President Barack Obama.
In the video, Horvath describes June 28 as a "date that will live in infamy." On that date, he says, the U.S. Supreme Court validated the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and "fundamentally changed how we are going to receive health care benefits in this country going forward."
"The day of pull out your card and pay a $15 co-pay, and that is all you have to think about when it comes to health insurance, is probably over, and you're going to have to absolutely become more astute consumers of the benefit," Horvath says.
On Wednesday, Horvath told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he made the comments last week during meetings with Henderson employees. He said he intended to give them objective data about their medical benefits.
"My comments had no political slant whatsoever," Horvath said. The fact that he is a registered Republican "is nothing more than a coincidence," he said.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/romney-campaign-uses-henderson-official-s-comments-to-attack-federal-health-care-law-172584951.html
The guy speaks the truth.  My own insurance, Teacher's Health Trust also has raised it's premiums and co-pays significantly, based a large part on ObamaCare.
You can't promise a bunch of free things and increase in coverage without prices rising and that is what ObamaCare does.
