North Carolina: Small Business Owner Says ObamaCare Driving Her To Drink

Small Business Owner: Obamacare Driving Me to Drink (Washington Free Beacon)

A North Carolina small business owner said she is being driven to drink more alcohol because of the stress brought on by Obamacare’s regulations, drawing laughter at a hearing about the new exchanges Wednesday.

The founder of early2surg, Sheila Salter, produced a chart showing she was taking a $4,584 bite out of her business due to Obamacare’s mandate that plans have at least 10 “essential benefits” she didn’t want at a hearing about the new health exchanges Wednesday.

“Now I challenge anybody in this room to look at the services that i selected for myself noting that I’m 61,” said Early2Surg.  I know I don’t look it, and I have no children or history of alcohol or drug abuse. Yet. Okay? Because This is driving me to drink.”
