<p>Wow, I am surprised by the doubt, I’m not sure how it’s so inconceivable. Talk over the weekend sealed the deal on making those cuts to our staff. So either my management is using it as an excuse for lay-offs/closing offices, or there is a direct relationship.</p>
<p>
The former sounds very likely to me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s an excuse as it was talked about before it was in law. </p>
<p>And you’re gullible for believing otherwise.</p>
<p>^Whether it was law yet isn’t really relevant. Any smart business knows what laws are about to be passed and acts accordingly.</p>
<p>Both of you may/may not be right. </p>
<p>It’s difficult to elaborate without potentially saying something inappropriate/identifying. But I do want to point out that I don’t believe I’ve ever specified what aspect of the insurance industry I work in, and your responses are making me believe that you have a narrow view of all different roles/types of companies involved in this industry. Maybe I work for an insurance company, or an insurance agent (as someone said above,) for a brokerage firm, a TPA, or in HR, etc… There’s a lot of different sides to the “insurance industry” and each is affected in its’ own way, so my company proactively making huge reductions on Monday partially based on legislation that was likely to pass that day, does not seem as wholly unlikely to me as it seemingly does to you.</p>
<p>^this was in response to noimagination & romanigypsyeyes</p>
<p>It seems as though there is a significant amount of opposition oriented around this bill. </p>

<p>Was it implemented yet? I thought that the Republicans found violations within its content.</p>
