And that's just the because of the basics of Obamacare and does not include the huge tax increases on the middle class and small businesses that came with it.

John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John's, earns over $200 million dollars a year.
So he has to charge 14 cents per pizza more to cover health care costs for his employees?
John Schnatter is a major fundraiser for Romney, so of course he will pass the expense back to the customer. It would be morally wrong to sacrifice any of the $200 million a year he reaps from Papa John's for the health of his employees. He might have to cut expenses on his estate:
...At a fundraiser at this estate, Romney said "Republicans come here and say everyone should live like this."
Assuming, of course, they pass along the cost of health insurance to their customers.

What? You mean this cheapskate doesn't already provide insurance for his employees? And now he's crying because he might have to? What an a-hole.
No, never mind. John is right. Let's get employers out of the insurance provider business. Employers should not be the source for health insurance coverage, and in a sane single-payer system they would not be. It's sick and twisted that the people you depend on for health care are the same people who can cut off your income at any minute.
