Newesflash: there was an Amendment on November 6 ballot to repeal Obamacare and it didn't pass.

Those darn democrats from South Florida stood 5 and 6 hours to vote I'm sure they won't have a problem boycotting these restaurants,since the next restaurant will be a minute away.

I'd rather see the incompetent go bankrupt than my country.

So, this guy has over 50 employees? Because if he doesn't, he doesn't need to pay for his workers' HC insurance.

And if he has less than 50 employees, and still chooses to provide HC insurance for his workers, he gets a tax break.

There is no business mandate in Obamacare, only the individual one.

AND, the 50 employee mandate existed before Obamacare.

Or do the actual facts about the new HC law not interest you?

As for the Restaurant owner...I call shenanigans.

Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation | Mail Online



Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny's and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers' bills and will reduce his employees' hours.

With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January 2014, Metz has justified his move by claiming it is 'the only alternative. I've got to pass on the cost to the customer.'

The fast-food business owner is set to hold meetings at his restaurants in December where he will tell employees, 'that because of Obamacare, we are going to be cutting front-of-the-house employees to under 30 hours, effective immediately.'
If the restaurant service industry starts to put a surcharge on invoices, this will hurt the employees further - they won't be seeing a tip. Not to mention that it will probably discourage people from eating out more often, so then end up hurting themselves as well where profits are concerned.

Good thinking.
The former employees will be working at the thriving resaurant across the street where business has doubled.

I will gladly pay 5% more at IHOP, if it means that the people handling my food get health care.

Cutting hours, though, is a BS move. I'll respond by giving them extra tips.

Every business will raise their prices. At least the companies that come right out and say it's because of the Obamacare tax are being honest about it. More power to 'em.

Another newsflash...there is no business mandate in Obamacare. The 50+ employee rule exists outside of that HC law, and has been around long before Obamacare was even an idea.

Obamacare gives tax breaks to small businesses who provide healthcare for their employees.

That's how fairy tales are supposed to end.
