Apparently not all of them. Those that want to dictate business decisions.

From the article:

"Chris Jennings, a longtime health policy hand who helped the White House during the final implementation push, says the employer mandate has become a “political irritant” — although he didn’t take a stance on whether it should stay, go or be replaced with some other Democrat-blessed way of helping cover workers.

“The issue really becomes, ‘Do we need it or do we not need it?’” Jennings said. “It’s complicated to enforce; it is somewhat burdensome to some employers. But it does contribute to the underlying financing of the law.”

>> "although he didn't take a stance" - well, imagine that. A politician hedging his bets.

>> "it's somewhat burdensome to some employers" - yeah, like anyone with 50+ employees. As in, tens of thousands of businesses. "Some". Right. Gotta love Politician-Speak (TM).

So what exactly is the problem with fixing a part not working as well? Seems prudent.
