Negative impact on employment:

• number of workers businesses employ is lower
• increase in part time jobs
• big increase in outsourcing

Negative impact on health insurance cost and availability for employees:

• big jump in Premiums, Deductibles, Out-of-pocket maximums, and Copays
• reduction in the range of medical coverage and the size of the network.

Obamacare costs to businesses are being largely passed on to customers as higher prices

Basically no change in the number of employees covered

Less employment, less availability, higher costs... heck of a job Barry

How else does one suppose increased costs of production can be paid for? Less of the product will be sold because the sale price must be profitable and thus must be raised due to the rise in cost of production. Less product, of course, means less labor to make fewer units which- wrap your brain around this- means fewer hours and/or fewer employees. That is so purely common sense that even liberals should understand it. But they don't

But, but, Barry said: 1) I could keep my doctor; 2) I could keep my plan; 3) I'd save $2,500 a year on family health care; 4) the coverage would be better; 5) yada, yada, yada. At some time and place, even the stupidest of the low information voters will realize this was a lie. But, they'll credit Barry with trying to fix health care in the same way he's fixing the economy. This all makes one want to throw up.
