Those that hate Obamacare and all things democratic would have you believe that employees are hired or fired soley based on the employment costs of said employee.
If that where the case it would be easy to run a business, have 0 employees, 0 employment expenses and keep all your profits $$$.
Claiming your laying off or foregoing hiring because of a particular government policy is dishonest and playing politics plain and simple. Anybody that actually runs their business this way is not too bright and deserves what they get.
A business has a certain margin for profit.
5% could kill that margin.
so how do you prevent that 5% loss.
Raise prices.
Cut expenses.
The business has to determine can the raise the prices to cover extra expenses being incurred if the added expense is not going to increase the profits enough to cover the expense.
The business is not intended to run at a loss!
