Denny's charging 5% Obamacare surcharge!

Quote from Free Thinker:

i was off on that. the employer mandate is a straight $2000. still cheap for the employer to get a benefit usefull to his employees.

Penalties For Failure To Insure

For firms which do not offer insurance any insurance, have more than 50 employees, and have at least one employee receiving insurance subsidies, they must pay a tax of $2000 per subsidized employee. The tax is applied to all of a firm’s employees (after excluding the first 30), not just those that are subsidized. For example a firm with 51 employees would pay $42,000 in new annual taxes, and an additional $2,000 tax for every new hire.

So you essentially increase the wages+benefits paid by the employer to the server by 50% right? Clearly Denny's disagrees with your notion that, "still cheap for the employer to get a benefit usefull to his employees". So I ask the question, was your business more successful than Denny's? Do you understand what it takes to make a profit in the restaurant industry better than them?

What might happen is the following:

The owner of these Denny's restaurants will create additional entities for the staff that normally is not offered insurance, such as the wait staff, busboys, etc. Each entity will have a maximum of 50 employees. The owner and executive staff keep their insurance under the original business entity. More accounting, more tax filings. The law of unintended consequences.

McDonalds, by the way, offers its staff - and I mean the guys serving the fries - medical insurance at many of its franchises.

You know what I see happening here? Pay for a job. You want to work here, cough up 2k and you're hired. Why I'll even lend you the money and you can pay over 52 weeks.

Not as far fetched as some might like to think.

You should go public with that, using your real name.

Edit: and do include your party affiliation if republican.

It could be made ceremonial like Carousel in Logan's Run.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan's_Run_(film)



"In the year 2274, the remnants of human civilization live in a sealed domed city, a utopia run by a computer that takes care of all aspects of their life, including reproduction. The citizens live a mostly hedonistic lifestyle but have been told that in order to maintain the city, every resident must undergo the ritual of "Carrousel" [sic] at the age of 30, where they are vaporized with the chance of being "Renewed." To track this, the humans are implanted at birth with a Lifeclock crystal in the palm of their hand that changes colors as they approach their "Last Day.""

"Most residents accept this loose promise of rebirth, but some sense that it is simply execution for the sake of population control, and go into hiding to avoid Carrousel. These fugitives are known as Runners, and the city's computer assigns Sandmen (officially known as DS agents, de facto executioners), who pursue and terminate them."

Free Thinker doesn't know jack squat about running a restaurant...neither do his leftist buddies who think that it's as easy as 1-2-3 to just pass along increased costs (while conveniently ignoring all the passed along increased costs in the supply chain.).
