My poor husband had the awful job of informing 40 hourly employees they'd no longer be covered by the companies awesome health care plan. My husband had to try to get them to sign up for health care welfare, and they were furious! They said they were not going to do it. My poor husband had to be the one to tell them they'd be fined if they didn't, and they said they weren't going to pay that either. You can imagine how they reacted when my husband told them the government would take their money anyway - they'd simply take their fine payment out of their tax returns, so they had no choice but to obey.
He also reminded them that elections have consequences. obomacare is one of them.
I feel for your Hubby. Had to be tough on him.
