But the point is that Obamacare is hurting the wage earners who will now have their hours reduced and no more overtime.

Priority Health stated it WAS directly because of Obamacare

Fans of the Grand Slam breakfast, fear not. The Denny’s franchise owner who told a reporter that he would be adding a 5 percent “Obamacare” surcharge to diners’ meals has walked back that statement.

John Metz, who owns around 40 Denny’s and multiple Dairy Queen Locations in Florida, as well as a franchise called Hurricane Grill & Wings, made news and ruffled diner food fans’ feathers when he told the Huffington Post that he planned to add a 5 percent surcharge at the start of next year in addition to cutting back some full-time employees to part time. His reasoning, he said, was that the measures are necessary to offset the costs of the Affordable Care Act, which goes into full effect in 2014.

But now representatives for Metz are walking back those statements, telling ABC News in a statement that while Metz will cut back hours his employees work, the 5 percent surcharge was merely speculation, and never was his actual intention.

“Hurricane Grill & Wings will be implementing the 28 hour [maximum hour] rule in all corporately owned and operated restaurants starting in Q1 of 2013. The 5 percent surcharge mentioned in various online outlets is pure speculation and only a potential option should the law be re-written to include full-time equivalents,” the statement read. “The surcharge is not to be implemented or considered at this time.”

ABC News was denied a request to interview Metz.

The Affordable Care Act states that employers who do not provide health insurance but have over 50 full-time employees will be charged a penalty for every employee above 30 full-time employees.

Metz is not alone in promising to cut back on workers’ hours as a way of avoiding this provision. He joins employers such as Papa John’s, Apple-Metro, Jimmy John’s and Darden restaurants, all of which have already announced plans to cut back the number of hours certain employees work.

Yet how the ACA would impact the restaurant industry – whether in decreased profits, increased prices or lower wages for employees – has yet to be fully determined.

Lets say A High Frequency Baby [maximum such babies are slated to be born after 2012 Dec 21], born to a poor working class couple with no insurance, develops some serious ailments. Without Obamacare, she will die as the parents cannot afford 100-200000 dollars for sophisticated treatment. All those who contributed through Obamacare "premiums" have contributed to saving this baby and millions GAIN spiritual benefit and High Frequency Blessings.

The thing is, one must think of additional premium as "Money Given Away". We know that this creates twice a return. It is Sacred, Inviolable Law. But one must think positive about it. If given grudgingly, then it takes a lot more time to manifest.

All the Elites who are planning to terrorize employees and punish them for electing Obama, well, they are in for a surprise. Ordinary Employees are going to get better as the High Frequency Shift in Consciousness steps up.
Slowly, they will become job creators themselves, and network faster and better. They will reject employment from Abusive Corporate Sharks.

Humane Elites will get the new cream of the workforce and catapult to great heights.

You assume you can divine how entrepreneurs conduct business without understanding that the benefits they offer are a key component of what draws good, qualified people into working full time.

Have you seen the benefits list at Papa John's Corporate? http://www.papajohns.com/careers/benefits_02.shtm

Logic has nothing to do with it, it's only a matter of preference.

What does logic have to do with your refusal to like the system the way it was before ObamaCare?
