Well, we could start with your absurd notion that there's such a thing as a "local" McDonalds, Pizza Hut, etc. It's very ubiquity rules against it.

More to the point, though: It's specious because Obamacare actually benefits small businesses. Companies with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from the responsibility to provide healthcare or be fined. Those with fewer than 25 employees receive subsidies if they chose to provide coverage. John Schacter's problem seems to be that it would lower labor costs for the mom & pop places.

In sum, you want to screw over small business owners, their families and the millions of people they employ in order to reward a Kajillionaire with poor marketing skills who peddles inferior product. You're chock full o'win today.
