Well, no one saw this coming. The Washington Times reports that the CBO has revised its previous estimates and now predicts that Obamacare will snatch employment-based health coverage from 7 million Americans.

If you like your plan, you can keep your plan? Yeah, not so much.

If you like your health care, 7 million fewer of you will get to keep it. http://t.co/Xj9PB2fT

Happy days are here again.

Remember when Obama attacked McCain's healthcare plan as threatening to unravel the employer-based health-care system? https://t.co/3KSDaBqa
