Still More Evidence That ObamaCare Is Costing Jobs

Be sure to thank these people
IBD  "The most recent evidence comes from a Gallup survey of small businesses, commissioned by the Littler Mendelson consulting firm. Gallup found that more than four in 10 companies have frozen hiring because of Obama-Care, and almost one in five have cut workers to minimize the cost of the law.
Another 38% said they'd "pulled back on their plans to grow their business."

Meanwhile, just 9% thought ObamaCare would be good for their business.

Littler Mendelson's Steven Friedman called the findings "pretty startling."

Well, there is this to consider about healthcare as well: When May the Government Require Groups to Endorse Certain Views in Order to Get Government Benefits?
"What Congress has done here — requiring an ideological commitment relevant to the Government task at hand — is approved by the Constitution itself. Americans need not support the Constitution; they may be Communists or anarchists. But “[t]he Senators and Representatives ..., and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support [the] Constitution.” The Framers saw the wisdom of imposing affirmative ideological commitments prerequisite to assisting in the government’s work. And so should we."
We'll have to see how this translates into government control with healthcare.
