It is already proving to kill jobs and reduce work hours for people.
Killing jobs lol, and how about Obamacare helping to kill people. The druggies, most smoke and smokers are notorious for having to return to the hospital again and again. Not any more, they will die.
If anyone is admitted they better hope they don't have to return in 30 days because they won't get admitted because the hospitals will get fined. This fine will also cause the death of people because they will just be given a pill (to die softly) and sent home.
And now more mass firings begin. Here's a collection of today's headlines.

Wait until all the defense layoffs are announced. Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, SAIC, CSC, and on and on it will go. Northern Virginia will be devastated with these losses along with our housing values. In a larger issue, our counties defense and military will be severely cut back and will leave us weaker in the future to defend against known and unknown threats.
This is true. There is the sequestration and the Warn Law states that when anyone in the military will get layed-off the employers must give a 60 day notice to the employees. This summer the Obama administration wrote a letter to Lock Heed Martin encouraging them not to tell the employees until after the election but Lock Heed Martin said it was the law and they were obligated to follow the law. About a month later the Obama administration said don't tell the employees and the Obama administration would pay all legal fees. In other words the American tax payer will pay the legal fees for not telling people they were going to lose their job.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) protects workers, their families, and communities by requiring most employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.
I already know two fantastic guys, that just got laid off. Companies do not matter, what does is that they were loyal employees for over the ten yr period. How can this happen.
Summarize, what you think the main reason was, i sincerely do not know, but health-benefits were mentioned, with other things. It is sad, when you have a young family. I hate this again. When obama took office 4 years ago, i myself little me know 22 well now 24 familes that have been effected by unemployment.
The reasons do not matter, just adding to our already high unemployment.
Things are going right back to what they were, you will see, but you asked for it. And i truly don't care, you voted for him, you voted for your right to be fired.
My company has been struggling for the past 3 years. They're trying to stay afloat as long as they can, but we all know we can't hang on for another 4 or 5 years.
Gosh, where is our bailout? Guess we need to unionize.
