He said that if a company must provide insurance if it has 50 employees, and currently employs 48 or 49 people, "the incentive to not hire that 50th employee is huge."
That makes the Obamacare concept hopelessly flawed and in need of repeal, he said.
During a question-and-answer session, Mr. Toomey was asked if Obamacare is a done deal.
