   Of course it is.  The weight falls on the small business   
   owners who, unlike Darden can't afford to manipulate   
   schedules of employees, and can't afford the administrative   
   overhead in the fines if they violate the law, etc.   
      
   Employer provided health care was a doable thing in the   
   period post ww ii when there was less competition from   
   foreign factories and most of us consumed American made   
   products.  Mandates for employer provided health care just   
   don't work now however.  OFten small businesses can't retain the best people,   
   because they can't afford to provide them   
   health care benefits.  NOt if they wish to remain   
   competitive.
