Hmmm, how many Papa John's pizza makers and drivers are full time and have health insurance now? Likely very few. So, Portcitygirl's and your implied hope for employee sabateurs is not likely to come to fruition.

Yes, but most other leaders/industries have found ways to do it without causing "PR issues".

I wouldn't call it a tax break, but corporations will drop what coverage they did offer, or cut hours to not have to fork over health care for low skill labor. This was the entire point of the law in my opinion. More and more companies want to quit paying for health care, and this gave them an out.
So now more and more people will be "covered" by crappy government plans.
This will bring low skill labor in America more in line with the rest of the low skill labor in the world.

You miss the point. Obamacare is being implemented in one of the worst U6 environments in recent history. Severely limits employee alternatives. The U6 situation and its concomitantly expanded underemployed worker pool also makes it obligatory for CEOs to consider the 34hr employment option from a fiduciary stance.

(1) Our Corporations already have the highest tax burden in the world; and
(2) This was the intent of Reid/Pelosi/Obama...this will lead to the single payer system by default. It was the somewhat clever way to get the legislation passed in a way that will ultimately lead to a single payer outcome.
(3) Businesses are not charities...they are not "obligated" to do jack shite unless explicitly required by law.

Papa Johns CEO responds to Affordable Healthcare Act media issues ...

One one hand it's not his fault for doing whats best for his business

Walmart did this years ago to thousands of employees. Cut hours to 36 and took away benifits.

I hope more companies come out and do the same.
Likewise, then hopefully it will force the conversation of why in the hell employers are responsible for paying for health insurance in the first place and put health care in the hands of government where it belongs.

That is all fine and dandy in free market, but when the government starts telling businesses what they have to do is when you get in this situation. It all boils down to the government over reaching their bounds.

Other pizza companies cutting hours and saving money will sell cheaper pizza. Broke Americans want cheap stuff.
The goal was to go to single payer. Everyone on government Heathcare. No private insurance companies. This was just the first step.
Tens of millions of people on ObamaCare will be the "success" story. Huge doctor shortage coming. Will be replaced by seeing non-doctors or bringing in doctors from other countries.
Obama said after the auto bailout the U. S. Government needs to take over more industries. Healthcare is 1/6th te economy. What's next?
Manufacture a crisis in the media.
Oppose any fixes to save a system orbsolve problems in favor of total replacement.
Buy off largest business opponents.
Buy off largest lobbying groups. (AARP).
Fundamental transformation complete!

The only difference is having Obama and the IRS involved in your health care decisions.
