The vast majority of U.S. companies said the implementation of the Obama administration’s health-care law will have no effect on their businesses or hiring plans, according to results of a poll issued today.
About 75 percent of those surveyed said the Affordable Care Act hasn’t influenced their planning or expectations for 2014, according to data from the National Association for Business Economics. Twenty-one percent of 64 respondents said that the law would have a negative impact on business conditions and 5 percent said it will be positive.
