Good to see you now implicitly admit that there would be no rational explanation for this unless you could somehow automate/outsource, or the work was already superfluous.

We did lay off a couple of people and a couple of our ad representatives do virtually no work for us anymore.
In our case, the ACA didn't directly affect us because we're too small of a company employee wise. But you need to understand that whenever the government does something, whatever it might be, that reduces disposable income it's going to hurt poker, and whenever the government does something that increases disposable income, it should help poker.
By the way, since health insurance seems to be such an important issue for you, I believe that it should be ended except for catastrophic insurance. What I notice is that when in a doctor's office there are usually a bunch of clerks working insurance forms for every doctor, plus the fact that the insurance company makes a profit. So eliminating health insurance should bring health care costs down and probably by a lot.
Now I also recognize that this idea is more complex than it at first appears because what is a catastrophic amount for a low income person may not be the same for someone of higher income. But this is something that can be worked out. Also, there would be the medicare issue for people who have spent years paying into the system who when older expect to get something back. And probably a few other things.
