It’s already happening. The 40+ workers will find themselves working part time jobs, no insurance, facing death panels, unless they’re a union whore.

Businesses with more than 50 employees who cannot move a significant number of employees to part time will end their health coverage and pay the $2000 per employee fine to the government. This will allow them to avoid the $6000+ annual cost of insuring an employee. Of course the employee will be required by law to have insurance and will have to buy it on the open market, effectively reducing her/his consumable income. For the business converting from paying health insurance to paying the fine, it is a net plus. Collecting fines is also a plus for the government. Everyone wins except the employee, as usual.
