Obamacare Seen as Major Threat by McDonald's Franchisees

Huge costs seen hurting bottom line

Here's one thing you likely won't find a McDonald's franchise owner happy to ask his employees anytime soon: "Would you like a side of health care with that shake?"

That's because some of the fast food chain's franchisees say that the costs associated with President Obama's health care reform law will cut deep into profits, according to a recent survey of 25 McDonald's owners conducted by Janney Capital Markets obtained by The Huffington Post.

One franchisee even went so far as to say, "Obamacare will negatively hit us like nothing else," according to the survey.
