More Obamacare fuckups

[Parkbandit]

Precisely the sort of post that made me suggest that this thread is mutual masturbation. I meant of ideas and opinions but you could take it elsewhere of course.

I just viewed it as another shining example of your hypocrisy.

I like the idea of the GOP letting the law illustrate how bad the law is.. right before the 2014 midterms.

Take back the Senate, increase the seats in the House.. THEN fix the law by defunding it and letting it just become the "New Coke"... a complete failure.

If the GOP does not meet with midterm success, will that change your mind on the ACA?

Obamacare making it too expensive now to eat out for dinner.

Diners at eight Gator's Dockside casual eateries are finding a 1% Affordable Care Act surcharge on their tabs, which comes to 15 cents on a typical $15 lunch tab. Signs on the door and at tables alert diners to the fee, which is also listed separately on the bill.

The Gator Group's full-time hourly employees won't actually receive health insurance until December. But the company said it implemented the surcharge now because of the compliance costs it's facing ahead of the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate kicking in in 2015.

Perhaps this will be an ironic positive of ACA ... people eating less = less obesity = healthier population.

It's dumb and nothing but a publicity stunt. Why not change the Chili Cheese Dog to $6.69 where no one would notice it?

They probably upped that price up as well, nothing like a small dollar distraction to cover up the large dollar profiteering.

I for one look forward to the day when my restaurant bill looks like my electricity bill.

The fee will allow the company to continue offering full-time hours to many workers, according to Sandra Clark, the group's director of operations.
"I'm just trying to keep the employees I have that I've worked hard to train," Clark said.

Funny perspective.

I'm more annoyed that the surcharge isn't exactly 1%: 1% * 21.14 = 0.21.

Ok.. so the Dems are so worried about midterms.. that Obama is going to "delay" the need for current plans to meet HIS requirements till AFTER the election this fall.

Isn't that SWELL.

What more proof do you need that this thing is a fucking piece of shit, then the fact that Obama has delayed it more then he has implemented it?
