First, President Obama had to backtrack from his promise that if you like your health insurance plan, under Obamacare "you can keep it." Now, a new study is suggesting that, under Obamacare, "If you like your workweek, you cant necessarily keep it, either."
Now, the business community is painting the workplace impact as a serious concern, and some labor groups have also voiced worry about the rise of the 29.5-hour workweek.
Instead of providing affordable health care coverage to employees, the law will effectively take hours and wages away from Americans who need and want full-time jobs, said Bruce Josten, executive vice president for government affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce, in a statement accompanying the study. Thats bad for businesses and their employees.

- Some 31 percent of franchise businesses and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses say they have already reduced worker hours because of the law.
- About 27 percent of franchise businesses and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses have already replaced full-time workers with part-time employees because of the law.
- Some 41 percent of the non-franchise firms say they already see health-care costs rising because of the law.
- As the franchise firms look toward the future, 28 percent of them say theyll stop offering health coverage in 2015 because of the law. One-third of franchise businesses already do not offer health insurance.
