Papa John's claim that firing employees over obamacare is horse shit

[Wiseacre]

He would rather give away pizza for free than allow his employees to have healthcare

Probably cheaper tho.

Does he owe them health insurance? Did they set that requirement when they took the job?

Maybe they could take steps that would offset the cost...the thing is, business owners don't WANT to be forced to do things with their businesses that they don't want.

Papa John's is a great business...and they accept foodstamps. Now there are that many fewer jobs available to foodstamp recipients.

Well done, assholes.

Papa John's Obamacare Costs Are Far Less Than Price Of Free Pizza Giveaway

News flash to Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter: Obamacare isn’t the only thing costing your business money.

The pizza chain head has made his views on the Affordable Care Act clear in recent months, claiming the new health care law will cost his business about $5 to $8 million per year. To compensate Schnatter's said he will likely raise pizza prices and cut back some workers’ hours so he doesn’t have to insure them.

Caleb Melby of Forbes has graciously done the math on Obamacare’s cost to Papa John’s and according to his analysis, to cover the cost of Obamacare, the pizza chain would have to raise prices by 3.4 to 4.6 cents per pie -- way less than the 11 to 14 cents Schnatter claims he needs.

And there are other changes the chain could make to save some money, Melby notes, like not giving away 2 million pizzas for free at a cost of between $24 and $32 million to the company, for example.

So, the obamacare costs will be 5-8 million and that constitutes cutting employee hours and firing others.

But he has no problem on giving away 23 million in free pizzas nationwide.



Thats a load of horse shit and unjustified. And you know it.

No excuses.

Apperantly, they didn't feel nice enough to let the people keep their jobs and instead wanted to be greedy.

Greed has nothing to do with it..nice try though..

Greed has literally everything to do with it. Were you taught nothing about being too greedy when you were a child?

Come back and talk to me when you have taken an Economics course.

That should be illegal for them to do.

Food stamps is for necessities, not for the luxury of shitty pizza to be delivered.
