Earlier this year, République restaurant in La Brea added a 3% ObamaCARE surcharge to customer’s bills. Now, it looks like more Los Angeles area resturants are going to follow their lead and add an ObamaCARE surcharge to customer’s bills according to the Los Angeles Times.

Among those on the list: Caroline Styne and Suzanne Goin of Lucques, Tavern and AOC; Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Son of a Gun and Animal; and David Lentz of the Hungry Cat restaurants.
Many of the restaurant owners said they had been mulling over providing health insurance for years. They took the plunge after watching the Affordable Care Act pass and seeing other businesses find ways to offer healthcare for their employees.
“We decided it would be a good thing to do it as a group,” said Josiah Citrin, the chef-owner of Melisse in Santa Monica. “Usually when lots of people do things it’s easier to make change.”
Of course, these restaurants aren’t your Dennys coffee shop type restaurants. These are big, swanky, expensive restaurants that cater the to rich liberal progressive who ruin Los Angeles. So umm, too bad or something. Enjoy your ObamaCARE surcharge.
