“This change is consistent with the way many large employers are responding to the costs associated with the Health Care Reform legislation.”-UPS memo to employees

United Parcel Service (UPS), a major employer in the United States, has canceled insurance policies for spouses of employees.   15-thousand spouses now have no health insurance!

UPS officials told Kaiser Health News that the Obama/Romney Care is actually causing health care/insurance costs to skyrocket, and they can not afford to provide insurance to so many people.

Another reason for the drop of 15-thousand people from the UPS provided insurance plan, is that UPS officials said the Obama/Romney Care law claims everyone will end up being covered anyway.  But, UPS said it will continue covering spouses who don’t work, or who work for companies that do not provide insurance.
