The consequences were completely intended.
Force people to work 2 or more part time jobs - every part time job counts just as much as full-time job when they publish the numbers.
Get as many employers as possible to drop their health insurance, forcing people to turn to the government for their health insurance, and health care.
The final consequence being a single payer system, just like in England.

Interesting note: at my job, 2 of the new hires’ cars caught my attn.
1 had a NOBAMA sticker on it, the other had a PRO-LIFE lic. plate.
Life imitates art.
