A D.C.-area grocery store says it has been forced to freeze hiring to avoid costs tied to a new rule under Obamacare.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that Snider’s Superfoods of Silver Spring, Md., will not hire new cashiers or baggers so it can stay below a 50-employee threshold under Obamacare’s “employer mandate.”
Under the mandate, companies with 50 or more employees must provide health coverage or pay fines if at least one of their workers takes advantage of tax credits on the law’s new health exchanges.
The mandate, which has been delayed twice, will kick in for employers of 50-99 workers in 2016 and phase in for companies of 100 or more workers in 2015.

You are getting what you voted for!
Obama said he was going to fundamentally transform America. Then, ignorant people voted for him. Now those same people will vote for other Socialists as long as the continue to live off other people.
Meh, these businesses represent the minority, and they don't sound like they are very adaptable.
