According to Kevin Ross, writing in the American Thinker, this may be one thing you can expect if the health care bill makes it to the final stages and is signed, sealed and delivered.

As a restaurateur, I’ve been following the heath care debate especially attentively. I have already determined that the health care bill, if passed, will cause a significant reduction in our net profits — depending on how many employees we can shed. After reading the fifty or so pages of the Senate “Affordable Health Choices Act” devoted to “Employers’ Responsibilities,” I still have no idea whether my businesses are “small” or “large” — but I am pretty sure that it will cost me $100-$150 a month in bookkeeping, accounting, and payroll service fees just to find out. Again, I suspect that there will be a distinct incentive to shed employees in order to stay “small.”For them erectile dysfunction is nothing discount price viagra but loss of world until they find any viable treatment. Consumption of high-fat foods might interact with PDE-5 free cialis sample inhibitors and have the discriminatory action on blood vessels of a penis. The liver further helps people by sorting out prescription for ordering viagra toxins and anything else that is not good for your heart is good for your health. There are a lot of products available in the market under various names, but is definitely more affordable than viagra brand 100mg other jellies that are available in the market.
But what really caught my attention was a part of the Senate bill called “Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items at Chain Restaurants” (Section 325, Subtitle C, “Creating Healthier Communities,” of Title III, “Improving The Health Of The American People”). This section requires nutritional content labeling at any point of sale, as well as labeling indicating “a succinct statement concerning suggested daily calorie intake as specified by the Secretary by regulation.” Other language in this section gives the secretary the power to determine any nutrient that must be disclosed by regulation. …
….On nearly every page of the Senate bill is some phrase giving the Secretary of Health and Human Services the statutory power to determine, regulate, and generally micromanage anything related to public health. This is not just insurance, doctors, or hospitals — but food. Think of the size of the bureaucracy (unionized, of course) that will be needed to write and promulgate these regulations. It is not a stretch to imagine the day when the secretary, at the urging of the department’s grant partner, The Center for Science in the Public Interest, will regulate the fat, salt, and sugar content of everything we eat and drink. It’s bad enough that the FDA was poised to start regulating food as though it were a controlled substance. Now Congress is codifying food and menu regulations in a health insurance bill? We could soon be living in a sugar-free, low-fat, lactose-intolerant world courtesy of the food police and your local nanny — I mean, congressperson.
Read it all, I did and thought, “these are not unintended consequences, these are intended consequences,” and that is even worse.
