Yep, no amount of timeline will change your talking points. At least you are consistent. Until O-Care passed, all anyone had was conjecture as to what would be in the final bill. In early 2009, my health insurance premiums tripled and my coverage got cut to a high deductible plan. It had ZERO to do with O-Care and everything to do with cost cutting. Hell, the very very republican CEO of the company I worked for at the time even came out and told us that cost cutting was needed due to the recession, but hey, you have your talking points and nothing will sway you from your alternative facts.
As for McDonalds, I think your timeline is a bit off. The article is from September of 2010, not early 2009. I looked and couldn't find anything earlier than late 2010 and some articles were as recent as 2013, which is closer to when the Cadillac tax took effect.
