#1 National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)

I hate to say it, but who did they support in the run up to this? The first rule of socialism, any socialism, is that what is yours (money, property) is open to debate.

Is this a case of more rubes self-identifying?

#2 What the Obamacare effect is, is to raise prices for everything across the bord to pay for it.

Example, since all small buisness owners HAVE to pay for this increased insurance, the cost of (Say) Auto repair, Just went up to pay the difference.
(If it doesn't they will have to go out of business)

Think that over next time you have to repair any auto related repair, or fender-bender, It'll be higher making the insurance higher, etc in a domino falling chain throughout the entire economy.

Forced inflation is the result.

#3 The path of least resistance for small business owners is to (1) pay the fine per employee for not providing gov't-sanctioned health insurance and then (2) either add that to their prices and/or cut their employees' pay by an equal amount. That's how my brother in Mass. has been getting by running his business since they instituted Obamacare there.
