my neighbor works for someone who has said that if Obamacares will be the ruin of this country and that it will cost jobs and people won't find work. My boss has stayed quiet, but I know he feels the same way.

Of course, those that are against Obamacares are the millionaires who have full access to healthcare and don't care that their employees struggle to pay for their premiums if they can actually afford them. Marie Antoinette would have a lot in common with the company owners today - cake indeed.
