This is just another of Team Obama’s surreal objectives.

Here's exactly how retailers will respond to the Obamacare plan as it is currently being reported. Since the plan is to fine any employer that doesn't spend at least 8% of their payroll on healthcare insurance for their employees AND/OR require every employer to provide said insurance for EVERY employee or face a fine equalling 8% of their payroll, Retailers (including restaurants) will take any (and possibly all) of the following options 1. Drop coverage to every employee and pay the fine. 2. Fire all part time employees and replace them with full time ones (this will mean millions will lose their incomes) 3. Force all full time employees to work over time or face termination. 4. Eliminate as many positions that are paid above minimum wage as possible and/or reduce the wages of as many people as possible to minimum wage. This is how retailers and restaurants work. They have a lot of unskilled labor. Anyone who has worked in retail knows that when labor expenses go up, available man hours are cut back. The single largest controllable expense of any business is labor. When the cost of labor goes up, the amount of labor for the available funds goes down.  When it costs $10/hr for labor, and you only have $100 available to pay for it, you only get 10 hours of labor. UNLIKE government, who is NOT responsible for the money that they spend, private companies can't spend money that they don't have, and they don't have the ability to force the people where they get it from to hand it over like gun point. The government does that daily. The difference is they call it taxes.

Here’s exactly how retailers will respond to the Obamacare plan as it is currently being reported. Since the plan is to fine any employer that doesn’t spend at least 8% of their payroll on healthcare insurance for their employees AND/OR require every employer to provide said insurance for EVERY employee or face a fine equalling 8% of their payroll, Retailers (including restaurants) will take any (and possibly all) of the following options

1. Drop coverage to every employee and pay the fine.
2. Fire all part time employees and replace them with full time ones (this will mean millions will lose their incomes)
3. Force all full time employees to work over time or face termination.
4. Eliminate as many positions that are paid above minimum wage as possible and/or reduce the wages of as many people as possible to minimum wage.
