That's going to make for a very long bill!

More trees killed to make the extra paper...

what a joke
Umm...actually, they do itemize those and all other expenses, but the smart ones use a computer.

LOL, yep. Be santa clause or we will defame you. Either way, even if companies don't do this, the cost will be built-in and prices go up. I wonder if your welfare check will increase as much as prices increase.

I'd be interested to see whether the 5% on every single check has any wiggle room in it, to, you know - increase profit margins a tad? Are we going to get to see the accounting? Especially seeing as he's already cutting the hours and won't be implementing the healthcare that apparently costs so very very much.

How about listing the businesses that cut prices when a Republican administration cut taxes?

Mommy's dead and Daddy's 80 years old. I take care of him. But thanks for your concern.

Do most people agree with this notion still? I don't know, it seems to make logical sense to me:

Really? On the customers tab these things are itemized?

I've never seen it at any restaurants around here...

I was under the impression that the tab would have a 5% surcharge added as a line item, you know, to rub it into peoples' faces.

Coffee $2.00
Doughnut $1.50
Tax $0.25
Affordable Healthcare Act Surcharge $0.18
Total $3.93

It's what must be done.

Other nations are at a distinct advantage in manufacturing businesses, because healthcare costs (especially long term costs for retired workers) are not part of the bottom line.


Canada, Japan, Germany, etc.... socialized medicine.
