Restaurants pinched by health reform bill - The Business Journal of Milwaukee
by admin on мая.31, 2010, under Home insurance
National health care reform is expected to hit the restaurant industry particularly hard, as Milwaukee-area George Webb franchisee Tom Aldridge understands.
It may not have been part of his original agenda, but reform is prompting Aldridge to significantly alter his business plan.
Instead of continuing on a course to grow his George Webb franchise, Aldridge is expecting to sell two of his five restaurants — eliminating 25 employees in the process — to avoid having to provide health insurance for his workers at a pricey cost.
Under the health care bill passed by Congress in March, employers with more than an equivalent of 50 full-time employees are to provide health care coverage to all workers by 2014 or face a fine of $2,000 per uncovered employee.
