Arguing the semantics is pointless. The issue is that we were told that this was going to save everyone money and it most obviously isn't. Just like the banking regulations that were going to rein in all those nasty bank practices and charges most of which the banks have simply passed on to customers in terms of higher fees and more restrictive terms. For every action there is a reaction which seems to elude some. The fact remains that businesses exist to make money and anything the gov't does that costs business money is going to trigger actions that are designed to maintain the bottom line including cutting back or changing hiring practices. Obamacare is funded using dubious means (at best) and more or less is going to become a giant tax increase on all Americans.
