74% of businesses plan to pass out pink slips or cut hours to avoid Obamacare

[iamwhatiseem]

Obamacare has creates a typhoon of bad things for low wage folks and the fact that the liberals on this forum won't admit it - shows the inability of the left to criticize anything associated with Obama.
74% of small biz's are not planning in getting rid of employees - THEY ALREADY HAVE. And not just small businesses, if you know anyone working in the service industry such as restaurants and big box retail stores - then you know they have cut maximum hours for part-timers and hired more people to maintain lower hours to avoid Obamacare.
Lowes has done a particularly ingenious move - they have had seasonal summer employees for years, this year they started to make "seasonal" employees for BOTH winter and summer. You see - seasonal and temporary employees are exempt from Obamacare.
Low wage people are getting slammed this year. And Obama supporters are playing see no evil, hear no evil and pretending it isn't happening.

Believing a US Chamber of Commerce report is like believing a Rassmussen poll.

Your post makes total sense. Do not expect a logical rebuttal to it by Obamarroids around these parts!

Labor Unions: Obamacare Will 'Shatter' Our Health Benefits, Cause 'Nightmare Scenarios'


The letter was penned by James P. Hoffa, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Joseph Hansen, international president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union; and Donald “D.” Taylor, president of UNITE-HERE, a union representing hotel, airport, food service, gaming, and textile workers.

“When you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act,” they begin, “you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threat…We have been strong supporters of the notion that all Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. We have also been strong supporters of you. In campaign after campaign we have put boots on the ground, gone door-to-door to get out the vote, run phone banks and raised money to secure this vision. Now this vision has come back to haunt us.”

‘Unintended consequences’ causing ‘nightmare scenarios’

The union leaders are concerned that Obamacare’s employer mandate incentivizes smaller companies to shift their workers to part-time status, because employers are not required to provide health coverage to part-time workers. “
“We have a problem,” they write, and “you need to fix it.”

“The unintended consequences of the ACA are severe,” they continue. “Perverse incentives are causing nightmare scenarios. First, the law creates an incentive for employers to keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation, and many of them are doing so openly. The impact is two-fold: fewer hours means less pay while also losing our current health benefits.”

This administration is replete with failure, scandal, and coverup. They don't have the balls to admit that Obamacare is an abortion on hold. They are totally focused on the midterms.

 

[Mac1958]

The obvious solution is for Democrats to pass a law making it illegal for companies to fire workers or reduce their hours.

Yeah, you joke, but would you really be surprised if something like that happened?

Unions having buyers' remorse.........priceless!!!

It's always a delight to see the rightwing inmates around here accept a made-up number, no questions asked,

just because they like it.

 

[Mr Natural]

So how are businesses going to make up for the lost productivity?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Aren't something like 96% of all businesses in America less than 50 employees?

If that's about right, why would 74% of businesses be cutting back or laying off because of the mandate, when it doesn't affect most of them?

 

[B. Kidd]

So how are businesses going to make up for the lost productivity?

Creative efficiencies related to scales of economy combined with logistics.

Everybody knows this, dummy!

Then why didn't businesses apply those Creative efficiencies related to scales of economy combined with logistics before Obamacare kicked in?

You can always tell when they don't have and good answer; they start throwing around the insults.

They asked "business execs" of companies with 500 employees or less. So yeah, they didn't ask anywhere near a majority of small businesses.

Like I said, you can't believe any study that comes out of the US Chamber of Commerce.

Because our GDP USED to be 2x or more higher before Obamacare was imagined.
A good answer sans an insult.

You have to do, what you have to do to keep the business open and profitable.
If that means cutting workers and/or cutting hours, so be it.
No one to blame but the people who are responsible for the changes in the law that brought about this situation.

.......along with the misguided who voted in the people who are responsible for the changes. And yes, they will get fooled again.

I know for a fact that 74% is a made-up number because the Obamacare mandate doesn't affect 74% of American businesses.

Even a racist dullard like you should be able to figure that out.
