Showing Original Post only (View all)Obamacare Price Hike Cheered By Ian's Pizza [View all]
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/15/papa-johns-obamacare-ians-pizza_n_2133050.html" Martin, a part owner of Ians Pizza, a pizza shop with four locations in Wisconsin, said his business has offered full heath care coverage to its 50 full-time employees for years, making it all the more difficult to compete with national chains like Papa John's that pay workers low wages without health benefits.
"This may level the playing field for us, Martin said of the Papa John's price hike. If they have to pay for benefits, and that pushes their prices up closer to ours, it will justify what weve been paying for and what weve been fighting to do the past few years. "
What? Small business can now compete against multinational chains...the horror!
