Repeal employer mandate for good
W barrowmain ADJUST
U.S. Rep. John Barrow
Travel around the country, and you'll hear the same thing I hear from folks all over the 12th District of Georgia: We want employers to hire more workers and grow their businesses, but they face an uncertain future because of regulations coming down from Washington.

This mandate requires firms that employ more than 50 full-time workers either to provide them with health insurance ofminimum value or pay steep penalties to the federal government.
