Another Small Business Owner Comes Out Against Obama

From the Minot Daily News:
The new health-care reform law plays into hiring decisions, and he wishes it were not so, Minot businessman Steve Bigelow told a couple of members of Congress who stopped by his company Friday.
Congressman Rick Berg, R-N.D., who is running for the U.S. Senate, brought Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., to Central Machining & Pump Repair and held a news conference to talk about failings of what is commonly called Obamacare.
"The Supreme Court may have said it's constitutional, but I tell you, it continues to be unworkable for patients and health-care providers," said Barrasso, an orthopedic surgeon before going to Washington, D.C....
Bigelow, co-owner of Central Machining & Pump Repair, said the law is so expansive that it is impossible for his business to understand all the details. The company, which employs more than 30 people, is cautious about hiring because of uncertainty over whether adding staff would trigger new mandates since rules vary with the size of a business. Mandates such as offering health coverage up to 18 months for laid-off employees is just one of the cost concerns, he said.
Berg said the law creates uncertainty over costs that hampers the decision-making of small businesses looking to grow. He and Barrasso also called the law a terrible deal for taxpayers.
"It continues to be for us, as a nation, unaffordable," Barrasso said. Rather than reduce health-care costs, he said, the law has raised health-care insurance costs and more people are at risk of losing their employer-related coverage.  http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/570278/Minot-businessman-against-Obamacare.html?nav=5010
Until Obama is out of office or ObamaCare is gotten rid of, hiring by most businesseswill be stagnant and the economy will suffer.
Unfortunately, Obama who has never run a business and other liberals just don't understand this.
And why hasn't Obama been running political commercials praising ObamaCare?  Maybe because he knows America hates it?
