well,Atlas is flexing,shrugging even! What does Greek mythology have to do with anything in this thread? I can see you're not getting it! I never get the jokes in really old movies they are so dated so I do not even feel bad for "not getting it" whatever it may be. Not a Movie,but was made into one barely a year ago! But it's a really old book, so it's dated too. 1957,but was made into a Movie last year!

Instead of cutting employee's healthcare benefits, maybe Papa Johns should stop giving away free pizzas. I will boycott Papa Johns because they don't believe in taking care of their employees. That goes for any of these stupid corporations who want to be so vocal about blaming Obamacare for their greedy business practices. BOYCOTT BOYCOTT!

You see this is a promotion that is part of their deal with the NFL. The amount of money they lose by giving away pizzas is less than the amount of money they get by being "The Official Pizza of the NFL." Otherwise they wouldn't do it. What did you expect to happen to minimum wage jobs or less than minimum wage jobs that work on tips? You expect employers to just raise salaries? No they will just make people part time. This is no surprise.

This is no surprise. Of course it is no surprise they have been doing it for 20 years. Obamacare has nothing to do with it.

Anyone can goto Esurance.com and get full plans for like $50.00 a month. Everyone wants a handout. If you don't like the fact your employer doesn't offer benefits or the benefits you want find another job. To be fair I couldn't. I have had a pre existing condition since I was 8. Then again I based my career choice with the knowledge that I need a company to provide medical insurance. It's interesting that the ranters never respond to posts like this which point out the real-world problems with our current system.

And I solved the problem myself without the aid of my federal government. People can control their own lives to a large degree.

People with pre-existing conditions have been out of luck in this country as far as health insurance is concerned. This just tells me that health insurance as it has always been is nothing better than a for profit business that does not really give a rats rear about your health at all. Its just profit they are interested in.
