If you dont lay anyone off, the net cost difference between not laying someone off is $0.
Big corporations are already running with a bare bones staff
A duh moment is coming: The law requires employers to cover everybody not just the ones they want like professional staff as has been the practice. If you don't lay off workers who you don't cover now but will have to cover on Obamacare your costs go up. Duh, huh? Where's the layoffs?

The dah is you not comprehending that if a company has 10,000 employees, they are subject to Obamacare, and thus the increased management costs dont drop by cutting 100 employees.
Especially when you can just reduce the employees pay to offset the cost, something small businesses cant do.

Don't you recall all those workers that got moved to 29 hours so they'd be part time and exempt ?
You need to keep up with the news.
There were headlines all over the place about companies doing that.
The law requires everyone full time, not "everyone" and 29 hours isn't full time.

Yep, and with 29 hours you dont get to apply for unemployment
I thought sequester was going to crash the economy, where is this total collapse?
Well, since obamacare has technically not taken over yet, (even though somethings have), let's see the numbers in November, I would also like to see the numbers from companies the go from full time employees to part time employees...

This is a common misconception by the yahoos, who think what HappyTexan just said. The law REALLY says "full-time Equivalents." So, a company that has 99 employees can make everyone half-time and get the total FTE below 50. A company with 500 employees still has to cover every employee, regardless of whether they are FT or PT.
