On the recordDecember 2, 2015

Senator Isakson, before he came to the Senate, was a small businessman in Georgia. Probably the largest employer in our country is the hospitality industry--restaurants, hotels, that sort of thing, employing many young people, many minority people. I met with a number of restaurant owners, who told me after Obamacare passed that because of the costs of that insurance to the company, their goal would be to reduce the number of employees from 90 to 70. So Obamacare costs jobs. Did the Senator have that kind of experience in Georgia as well?
