Tuesday, FOX28 talked with owners of the Bonnie Doon plant and downtown Mishawaka location. They tell us there are many reasons for the shutdown such as the declining economy and the rise in production costs. But the number one factor? The anticipated cost of the Affordable Care Act.
FOX28 talked with the CFO who confirmed the anticipation of the Affordable Care Act played a large part in the shut down, something Kyle Hannon, Elkhart Chamber of Commerce President says many small businesses are wrestling with. "Our businesses have been concerned, kind of wondering 'how much is this going to cost? How is it going to impact us?"
Under the Affordable Care Act, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees have to offer full-time workers a health care plan and Hannon fears this will stunt company growth. "We're still coming out of the recession and we're doing very well, but you wonder how much better we could be doing now if people could hire large numbers without worrying about implications."

This isn't the first, and something tells me that not only is it not the last, but that we will see a cascade turn into a flood.
The media can't ignore it forever. Thus, the only recourse for the Leftists will be to demonize these companies, claiming that they are so selfish, they would rather kill jobs than reduce their profits for the good of the collective.
