WASHINGTON – Aerospace giant Boeing is joining the list of companies that say the new health care law could have a potential downside for their workers.
In a letter mailed to employees late last week, the company cited the overhaul as part of the reason it is asking some 90,000 nonunion workers to pay significantly more for their health plan next year. A copy of the letter was obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

This follows last summer's warning from "Corporations like AT&T, Deere & Co., Boeing, 3M, Eaton, Honeywell, and many more have publicly identified staggering losses stemming from tax hikes associated with the government controlled healthcare system, and they are willing to testify at a Congressional hearing if required." http://www.onlinetmd...-time-near.aspx
And then last week:
" As a result, last week the administration granted "exemptions" to the law, affecting 1 million workers destined to lose their medical coverage prior to the November election if the law was applied as written.
"The big political issue here is the president promised no one would lose the coverage they've got," says Robert Laszewski, chief executive officer of consulting company Health Policy and Strategy Associates. "Here we are a month before the election, and these companies represent 1 million people who would lose the coverage they've got."
