Re: Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with co
This is nothing but political grandstanding. The guy really has no clue what the real impact will be on his business as we really are only week one into acknowledging that Obamacare is with us. The free market has yet to react with products to address the new healthcare market and the regs have yet to be fully written on the adoption of the law.
I am also a franchisee. I have 55 employees, most of whom are part time. With a little growth in my business, which I expect next year, I am also subject to the provisions of this law. However, unlike this yahoo, I am not crying about it and grandstanding on an issue that I do not fully understand (as no one really does).... as I DO understand there are a lot more steps ahead in the full implementation of this law, including actions by congress to provide relief for adoption of provisions in many instances.
I just returned from our national conference held in Detroit last weekend. My franchise did make a big deal about Obama care implementation. Though I believe our franchise is ahead of the curve here, they also went off rather half-baked with statements of fear that did little but cause angst within the ranks. They could not answer many questions, in many cases only speculating. They also were operating on a lot of assumption, not providing real answers, because they did not know..... nor does this Denny's franchisee (who, I speculate, voted for Romney).
Sorry, IMHO, we are running ahead of ourselves in fear of the unknown. This will be ok.
