Company That Donated Millions To Obama’s Re-Election Campaign Announces Layoffs Due To Obamacare…


D’oh!



Via Fox Nation:


Stryker Corporation has announced that it will close its facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs next month. It will also counter the medical device tax in Obamacare by eliminating 5% of their global workforce, an estimated 1,170 positions.

Jon Stryker is heir to the Stryker Corporation, one of the largest medical device and equipment manufacturers in the world. Stryker’s grandfather was the surgeon who invented the mobile hospital bed. The company now sells $8.3 billion worth of hospital beds, artificial joints, medical cameras, and medical software every year.

Stryker, a member of the Forbes 400 list, was one of the top five donors to the Obama campaign. Having donated $2 million to the Priorities USA Action super PAC, Stryker also gave $66,000 in contributions to Obama and the Democrat Party.

Prior to the 2012 election, Stryker contributed millions to help Democrat candidates in his home state of Michigan. He also gave nearly $250 million to groups supporting gay rights, transgenderism, and the conservation of apes. In January, his Arcus Foundation donated $23 million to Kalamazoo College for an endowment to fund a center for social justice leadership.

It's amazing how it's always the 3rd generation that fcks everything up.
Hardworking gramps makes good and the stupid grandson takes it all for granted because he never had to work for a thing.

I do like this line: "Nearly 250 million donated to groups supporting gay rights, transgenderism and THE CONSERVATION OF APES. "

Ok, you KNOW whats coming...... a mega TEE HEE:)
 
MotherFUCK busybody for getting the first post on the 1000th page.

But all in all, I want to thank all the wingnuts (including mr. BB) for helping to give us so many laughs with the dumb things that they said in this thread throughout the years.

All of the bluster and blow from the RWCJ and the OP is STILL true. Hell, even MORE true now. :cool:
 
Government Health Plan Will Cost Businesses an Extra $1.79 per Hour per Full-Time Employee

No wonder employers freaking out about how they’ll afford the added costs of full-time labor.

In yesterday’s New York Post, my friend Betsy McCaughey broke down the Obama health law’s costs per hour per employee:


If you get your health insurance through a job, you might lose it as of Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the new “employer mandate” kicks in, requiring employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide the government-designed health plan or pay a fine. The government plan is so expensive, it adds $1.79 per hour to the cost of a full-time employee. That’s incidental if you’re hiring neurosurgeons but a hefty increase for hiring busboys and sales clerks.

Currently, employers in retail and fast-food industries pay less than half that to cover their workers. To avoid the costly mandate, some employers will push workers into part-time status. Other employers will opt for the fine. Either way, workers lose their on-the-job coverage.

Worse, they risk losing their jobs. Even the fine adds 98 cents an hour to the cost of labor, enough to make some employers cut back on their workforce.

As many as a third of employers are considering canceling coverage, according to McKinsey & Co. management consultants.

It's the 1001st page that gets a convenient link from the first page.
 
According to Betsy McCaughey, ObamaCare’s permanence will raise the cost of hourly workers by $1.79 per hour for full-timers. Employers’ solutions will range from firing people to opting not to cover them and pay the very special ObamaCare fines, which themselves add about a buck an hour. ObamaCare also includes a tax on people in certain income brackets who sell their homes. How selling your home relates to health care was never spelled out to the public, mostly because the “strong majority” that passed the law never even read the damn thing. But not to worry, the 3.8 percent tax only hits if you make a profit selling your home. In the depressed post-CRA housing market, hardly anyone is able to get what they paid for their home, much less make a profit. If you own a second home, for business purposes or fun or whatever, and try selling it — hahahaha you’re screwed.

If you lose your insurance coverage, which about a third of American workers are likely to in 2014, you can either buy a government-approved plan or pay a fine. If you do neither, the IRS will withhold whatever tax refund you might have otherwise expected.




Oh, and the government now gets to busybody its way into your relationship with your doctor, if you are lucky enough to be able to afford to see one. If your doctor hasn’t retired by then.

That’s some of the wonderful basket of stuff that is known to be on the way, because it’s spelled out in the law. There’s a whole lot of other stuff that will come in that special Obama way of regulations — fiat by bureaucrat, more or less. That’s how we got the government forcing religious people and institutions to pay for abortifacients against their conscience.

Here’s one more kicker to brighten your day:


The government’s own projections say the cost of health-care administration — bureaucrats telling doctors and patients what to do — will soar from $29 billion when President Obama was first elected to $71 billion by 2020, some $40 billion dollars a year more in bureaucracy.

What a shame: That’s enough money to buy private health plans for fully half of all Americans who are now uninsured because they can’t afford it.

That amounts to smoking gun proof that ObamaCare was never really about health care. It was about fundamentally transforming the citizen’s relationship to the government. By that reckoning, it’s a fantastic success.

Way to go, 50.7%!
 
There would be no fiscal fears if Romney had won! The House would have enacted a legislative slate designed to pay off the national debt in 100 days or less!

In fact, Romney would have opened up his wallet and paid most of it off himself!
