Then, older and disabled people will become my clients.

I thought with obamacare everyone would pay the same fees.

With obamacare and the increased health costs, I will only hire young healthy people in the future as their costs will be much less.

John Stossel has a report showing that apparently you're not alone, tonto. Here's an excerpt:

The ADA was supposed to help more disabled people find jobs. But did it?

Strangely, no. An MIT study found that employment of disabled men ages 21 to 58 declined after the ADA went into effect. Same for women ages 21 to 39.

How could employment among the disabled have declined?

Because the law turns "protected" people into potential lawsuits. Most ADA litigation occurs when an employee is fired, so the safest way to avoid those costs is not to hire the disabled in the first place.
