Obamacare ruining my Papa John's pizza!

[PapaG]

Can you explain this subsidy? You say that employers who currently offer excellent insurance will pay for employees of currently irresponsible companies, which then won't have to pay for their own employees since the responsible ones will subsidize them? Does this mean that employees won't be forced by the law to buy insurance, which is a big conservative issue?

Why would anybody answer this question, when the only response you'll get is silence or some random non sequitur?

When they answer you, they get the opposite of silence. The argument goes on and on, and gets more trivial as the days wind on.

Wrong.

The cost of providing healthcare has gone up, in part, due to the pre-existing condition clause, which insurers are passing on to groups, and groups now have to pass on to consumers.

So I'm making a false assumption that the author is suggesting that some of the employees aren't currently being offered healthcare?

Under Obamacare, the company, which is the third-largest pizza takeout and delivery chain in the United States, will have to offer health care coverage to more of its 16,500 total employees or pay a penalty to the government.

The penalty is less expensive than the cost of providing coverage. I expect to see a lot of smaller companies decide to just pay the penalty and off-load employees to private plans.

Wait so what you're saying is "No I won't answer your qestion." Roger!
