John Deere:

Deere Says New Health Care Reform Law Will Increase 2010 Expense By $150 Million After-Tax

Deere & Company announced today that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law this week will adversely impact its expenses for fiscal 2010. As a result of the legislation, the company's expenses are expected to be about $150 million higher on an after-tax basis, primarily in the second quarter. This impact was not included in the 2010 outlook for net income attributable to Deere & Company of approximately $1.3 billion disclosed in the company's first-quarter earnings report on February 17th.
Apparently Verizon has also sent out warnings that they are going to have to cut their workforce due to increasing costs associated with this.

Hang on folks it's gonna get bumpy:tsk:

Primarily in the skyrocketing health insurance premiums. Mandate that you offer benefits to part and full time employees will also cost plenty. Hard to say, since the text of the new playbook has only been out about a week, and it will be changing as it goes along, probably not getting better.
