If someone gets 'downsized' versus fired, how is the company paying for one and not the other? Companies are not required to pay severence for layoffs, are they?

For a CEO to say during an election, "if Obama gets elected, I'm firing some employees" is certainly bombastic. But if you don't think that the net effect of Obamacare will be fewer full-time jobs with benefits (and higher healthcare premiums for those with jobs), you need to take Economics 101 and/or get your information from different sources..

If Obamacare is so great, why are so many businesses seeking exemptions?
