Again...the left's "unintended consequences" rears its ugly head...

I say to all businesses, either cancel all health benefits, or shut your doors over obamacare.

It's just a TAX...it's not healthcare in any sense.

I think they want to collect the taxes until 2014, using the money to promote their agenda, and then cancel or greatly reduce the "health care" part of the bill just before it's scheduled to take effect.

I think you’re right on.

I said to someone in my very liberal office: “The bill says you have “coverage” - I don’t see anything that says you’re promised “treatment” any more that the policy we already have.”

Not going to mention their name, but a person I know was hired back today, after being laid off yesterday due to obamacare, with the stipulation he/she would be payed under the table and he/she couldn't talk about it to anyone(Ok, so he/she broke that part but they couldn't wait to tell me about it). This is probably going to happen all over the country. Instead of going out of business small businesses will lay people off and rehire them under the table.

This does two things, denies the feds their taxes, denies them the health care taxes and allows the under the table employees to qualify for welfare. Dirty pool? I don't think so, I think it is called survival.
