I can agree with that...one more thing about your post, I talked to a man from Hazard that was going to re-open a coffee shop (he also owns a medical supply shop), and he said that Obamacare alone would make it hard for him to break even, taking his overhead, supplies, etc into consideration. I have talked to him several times about me opening up a car hop/diner, or even possibly a gas station around here, and he told me to do a lot more research on it, because if I have to hire a fairly big crew, that the insurance regulations alone would make it tough to open a new business and make a solid profit. When I told him that most of this would be funded by my personal money, he said for me to think reallllll hard about that, that theres no way that he would take that risk, that I would be better off taking a business loan, and to protect my money. I have an appointment to talk to my loan manager in a week, not to secure any type of loan, but to get the specifics of what Ill have to have, and generally get an idea of what Im looking at. It sounds like this Obamacare is going to be a killer across the board, so Ive not ruled out other projects, but it is slowly killing my dream of building my own car hop..

I would talk to a business person that is actually feeling negative effects of the insurance thing. If you will read the website, they give you credit to buy the insurance, it might be enough for what you need to buy. Check it out for yourself, and don't take the word of anybody that doesn't own a business, and is actually having to pay a lot more. Or, do like all these guys here suggest, and only work the people 29 hours a week. I wouldn't take any advice from most here, I'd talk to a CPA or tax lawyer, that can shoot you straight. Maybe Bob Seger can clue you in on how it is affecting his business.
