Delta Airlines says Obamacare will increase costs $100 million

Economic Policy Journal - Delta Air Lines has issued a letter about the impact of ObamaCare, claiming the law's implementation will contribute to a roughly $100 million increase in health care costs next year alone, for the airline.

At one point the letter states:

The ACA requires large employers to pay an annual fee of $63 per covered participant in 2014. For Delta’s roughly 160,000 enrolled active and retired employees and their family members, this represents more than $10 million added to the cost of providing health care next year. As we discussed, this fee, which is meant to help stabilize the state exchanges as they get started, provides absolutely zero direct benefit to our participants. It is, essentially, a direct subsidy from us and our employees to those who participate in the exchanges.

FOX also reports:

Another added cost comes from the requirement to cover children and young adults on parents' plans until they're 26 years old. [Delta executive Robert ]Kight reports that the change led to 8,000 more people being added to their rolls, at an annual cost of $14 million. 

Further, the individual mandate -- or the requirement on individuals to obtain health insurance -- is expected to drive more people into the company plan and drive up their costs by another $14 million..
