New post on Scotty Starnes's Blog |  |  Prices are going up due to Obama As most of us already knew, ObamaCare is going to add to the deficits, cause Americans to lose their insurance plans and will cause employers to end their employer-paid health care benefit plans and increase unemployment. Not to mention that these added costs these companies endure will be passed back onto consumers (taxpayers). From HuffPo: After President Obama's health care law takes full effect, the slogan for national pizza chain Papa John's may need an update. Instead of, "Better ingredients. Better Pizza," may we suggest, "Better health care. Pricier pizza." Typical HuffPo spinning for the President. Rationed, more expensive health care isn't "better health care."

One Papa John's franchise owner in Texas, Judy Nichols, says the law could interfere with her ability to open more restaurants. "I have two options, I can stop offering coverage and pay the $2,000 fine, or I could keep my number of staff under 50 so the mandate doesn't apply," she told Legal Newsline. Nichols added that the law may cost her between $20,000 to $30,000extra in taxes. "Obamacare is making me think about cutting jobs instead," she said. Continue reading>>> | | | |
