Ah, so another reason why Obamacare will O-bomb-a-out. Do you hear that? It's the sound of silence coming from the other side - "NO ALTERNATIVE" to socialized healthcare being offered by the Right. That silence is music to the Marxists: next stop FULL GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTHCARE "because the half-measure Obamacare failed" and there's affirmative silence coming from the other side.

Instead, shout THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY as the alternative. At every opportunity we can, the Right needs to repeat the truth at least as much as the lie is being repeated: the truth that the VOLUNTARY MARKET ECONOMY FREE OF GOVERNMENT interference is not only the alternative to coercive socialist tyranny, it so outperforms poverty-creating socialism that there's no comparison.

"...It’s a small part of the law. ..."

Mr. Gibbs doesn't understand that this law has no severability clause. Trashing a small part of the law trashes the entire law.

He is right but for reasons he doesn’t state (but I suspect he knows). The employer mandate is a further nail in the coffin of what is left of the US economy.

Naturally, they won’t admit that. But the employer mandate has to go and they know it.

By the way, Hawaii has had an employer mandate that was not limited to businesses over 50 employees. It has hampered small businesses ability to compete against similar businesses throughout the Pacific Rim, both Asian and American. Businesses ‘outsourced’ much of their tech work to other countries and even other US states that did not have the employer mandate.

It also caused many businesses to hire more part time workers (under 20 hours per week) to avoid the mandate. .

If they had only looked at the Hawaii example they would have known sooner what a boondoggle the employer mandate is/was from a global business perspective.
