Another negative consequence of Obamacare that was pointed out by conservatives, but ignored. The article gives birth to another great catchphrase, “If you like your workweek, you can’t necessarily keep it, either.”
From the article:
The survey by Public Opinion Strategies found:
- Some 31 percent of franchise businesses and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses say they have already reduced worker hours because of the law.
- About 27 percent of franchise businesses and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses have already replaced full-time workers with part-time employees because of the law.
- Some 41 percent of the non-franchise firms say they already see health-care costs rising because of the law.
- As the franchise firms look toward the future, 28 percent of them say they’ll stop offering health coverage in 2015 because of the law. One-third of franchise businesses already do not offer health insurance.
