Don't be selfish, it's not about the individual anymore. The village has taken over. Sit back and suckle that Gov. tiat!

Considering how Obamacare doesn't go into effect until 2014 it seems like big business stuffing up the ass of their employees to enrich the elite but blaming it on Obamacare so they can look themselves in the mirror. Business as usual in the good ole USA.

Darden Restaurants Decides to Screw Full-Time Employees now, using excuse they would rather not provide them affordable health insurance 2 years from now

"We can't outsource these menial jobs to India or China, so we'll just screw our employees out of every possible benefit, and put them part time, to ensure we 1% continue to profit" said patriotic American Business Owner. "It's clearly Obama's fault. I hope our former full-time employees remember that when they vote - it's not my fault I moved them to part time to maintain my personal profit margin!"

In a handful of restaurants in four markets, chain operator Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) has stopped offering full-time schedules to some hourly employees – an experiment designed to test ways to minimize the bottom-line impact of the "Obamacare" health care reform.

The Affordable Care Act by 2014 will require large companies to provide affordable health insurance to employees working 30 hours a week or more.

The Orlando Sentinel reported Darden Restaurants is one of several companies considering cutting back on full-time employment as a result of the law.

Darden operates nearly 2,000 restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada via various subsidiaries, including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and The Capital Grille.

What costs have gone up? Can you list them?

No portion of Obamacare that affects business providing insurance is in effect yet.
