Once provisions of the Affordable Care Act start to kick in during 2014, at least three of every 10 employers will probably stop offering health coverage, a survey released Monday shows. Politicians often seem to imagine that no one actually responds to the incentives created by their programs. That if you make something more expensive or difficult, that you'll still get just as much of it, only you'll get the extra money or effort of the politicians pet cause as well. That if you put new requirements on insurance coverage, requiring the insurance to cover more conditions, to cover people with pre-existing conditions, to cover children after they become adults, etc., that the price of coverage won't go up, or if it does you can make some companies, or the rich, or whatever pay for it, all without any noticeable negative consequences. The real world doesn't work like that.
