this is the third element of obama care that even democrats are peeling away from. they repealed a 1099 withholding piece of the law that was totally, totally destructive for businesses and really very onerous and they've gotten rid of the class act. the administration itself has pretty much thrown the class act in the garbage. the question is why are they all of a sudden abandoning various programs? >> let me just get at this job killing idea. when you have a law that brings 30 million people into the health care marketplace, they now have insurance, these are the folks who are going to be using the medical devices, who are going to be using hospitals, insurers. that's why those sectors are benefiting and that's why the law asks them to contribute. i think it's fair, especially since it's narrow lee tailored, it doesn't hit the over-the-counter medical device ps. >> you know what's so great, igor, guy benson is right. you are to the left of elizabeth warren and al franken. i never thought such a thing is possible. i'm proud of you, igor. this is great stuff. >> he

also obama care taxes. there's at least a 0.9% payroll tax and maybe the 3.8% investment tax applies to capital gains and sales of these franchises. that's what you're focusing on. it has not been a winning case, russ reynolds. >> yeah, and i think the reality is -- i think most small business people are aware that we're in a tough situation in america. and i think unfortunately, for small business people who create about 65% of the jobs that get created on an annual basis in this country, including the department of labor, i think what's unfortunate is the delivery has been effectively sort of an insult, which is the guy that gets up every morning and bakes bread because he owns four or five subways or the guy playing his fair share. i think recognizing that most small business people -- most franchisees in our system certainly are local -- they're good citizens in their local community, they're involved in their local community. there are quite a few of them that may stay at a hampton inn, they don't stay

that and obama care, obama care just hit us by 19.5%. our medical costs are going up next year by 19.5%. so what can we do? we'll have to adjust our costs and get them in line. we compete in the worldwide economy, and our costs are going up. >> how much did that loss of the r & d tax credit cost your company as well? >> it cost us about 2.5%, 2% on the bottom line. >> and if the r & d tax credit does not come back, how many people might you have to let go next year? >> so what we have is we've got the 2%, 2.5% that we lost in the bottom line and obama care hitting us by 19.5%. our costs are going to go up 19.5% next year, so we believe, we'll probably have to cut two or three people just to overcome the extra cost that's going to hit our business in 2013 so we've got obama care going through. we're going to take on half that cost and pass half of that on to our employees. think about that. that means that our middle class employees are going to see that increase in their health care costs next year. >> right. >> howard dean was just on w

back in october, the company launched an anti-obama care experiment. darden quietly started putting more workers on part-time status. under obama care, darden wouldn't be required to provide coverage for its part-time workers who make up 75% of the company's workforce. fewer full-time employees, fewer people to insure. but once the media caught wind, so did the consumers. and karma comes in the form of a income, a net income drop of 37%. the american people are speaking with their wallets, and darden numbers tells us the american people don't like ceos who screw their employees out of health care. darden now claims that their actions were misinterpreted. but this isn't the first time the company has tried to shortchange its workers. a restaurant workers organization found that darden pays as little as $2.13 an hour. by the way, that is the federal subminimum wage for tipped employees. that number hasn't changed since 1991. and darden has lobbied against minimum wage increases over the years. in the meantime, the ceo pay has increased 23% per year on av

we take a look at what's in store. >> reporter: the rollout of obama care will weigh heavily on health care services, medical devices and health insurors. hospital stocks, the best performers in the health care sector in 2012, likely to be volatile and vulnerable in 2013 as new medicare rules peg reimbursement rates more to outcomes rather than just the numbers of procedures. >> reporter: for insurors, 2013 will bring more m & a to diversified business as u.s. profit margins are squeezed by regulation and competition. united health's $5 billion acquisition of brazil's biggest health provider will likely push others to hunt for more international growth. >> medical device makers face a 2.3% excise tax starting in 2013 under obama care. it's been a head wind for stocks like boston scientific and striker. any kind of reprieve on that rate is going to be a positive for the sector. >> reporter: the biggest story of the year will be the buildout of the state health exchanges. the federal government has to build 32 of them for states opting out, along with a complex central data hub to manage

who are we hurting me. >> >> let's get on to obama care. originally the whole idea was to save money, cut costs, et cetera, but you've recently said the new health care law could cause insurance premiums to doublery 2013. ? >> there's some places where the premiums will go up by 100%. a 49-year-old in texas can buy a $5,000 deductible policy that's well below the 60% threshold so if i'm at a 45% threshold policy, the and it goes up to 60%, you have a 33% increase just to moving the benefits up. >> seems crazy, that the system is broken and could still double by 2014. >> if we're going to warn americans, somebody's got to pay for it. >> how do you think it's going to pay out, who is going to or what? >> i think it won't start right away like everyone hopes it will. there won't be an october 1st, 2013, are a bright new plan available for everybody, and it's not going to be cheaper, but i think it will be a start and it will be fits rand smart. if we want to insure more americans, and in the long run if we control our krosts we can control tha

conway distracts with negative ads to hide his support for obama care, which cuts medicare by $500 billion. >> that was 2010. fast forward to this year's election and the same principle carries through. each side tried to convince voters that the other guy wanted to take the hatchet to medicare. >> the biggest, coldest power play of all in obama care came at the expense of the elderly. $716 billion, funneled out of medicare by president obama >> my plan's already extended medicare by nearly a decade. their plan ends medicare as we know it. >> on medicare, for current retirees, he's cutting is $716 billion from the program. i can't understand how you can cut medicare $716 billion for current recipients of medicare. >> look, these guys haven't been big on medicare from the beginning. their party's not big on medicare from the beginning. folks, use your common sense. who do you trust on this? >> so, now, of course, given all the campaign rhetoric coming from both sides, we are on the other side of an election that proved that there is a bipartisan consensus, that it is bad to be the kind of p
