An employer is mandated to provide coverage for their employees. They have a lot of mandates. And those employer mandates are going to mean that people are going to lose their jobs. Dr. Fleming and I talked a little bit ago about how employers are scared. I've got a lady who runs a small business. She has eight employees. She desperately needs to hire another one or two, but because of the employer mandates of ObamaCare, she's not going to hire anybody. She's just going to try to struggle along herself and is not going to expand her business. She could hire two new people, and the employer mandate is going to prevent these two people who need jobs today from going to work for this small business. I already mentioned the guy who wants to do a $31 million expansion. He's not going to do that, not going to hire the 100 or so new employees that he would hire because he's afraid of ObamaCare and the employer mandates.
