Last Thursday the U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Obama’s controversial health care law, requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance.

As members of the restaurant industry, which employs millions of Americans, it is worth the time to take a closer look at the law to understand how it will impact you and your establishment.

An unbiased look at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will help explain details and offer insight as to how it will affect you.  It’s important to remember that news organizations and even industry organizations with your needs in mind will likely skew politically one way or another, so it’s vital to read and understand the facts for yourself.

Last week’s ruling was both momentous and historic.  Take a moment to put aside political beliefs and block out sparring jargon — educate yourself and your staff about what this means for you.  Navigating the times ahead will be smoother (and more enjoyable) for it.
