The person with the online id "dermdoc" bragged "Laid off my first Obama voting employee today." He has accounts on texags and myBCS websites.
Updated with dermdoc's reaction quoted from CBS below.
Update II: The guy fessed up that he was lying. See below.
The original post is no longer available on texags website but here is the google cache.

Our reimbursement rates are spiraling downward, taxes are projected to go up with Obamacare, so I did it.
This is for you crag.
On another note, my internal medicine doc for 20 years is retiring over this Obamacare crap.
I am really starting to get pissed......

I made this decision because I can.
And this guy is a racist too:

I'll probably have to see some foreign med school grad with a hyphenated last name.
This sucks.
Last interesting tidbit. This guy is not totally useless. Here is his response to the comment that wingnuts don't know the difference between Fox propaganda and news:

Oh we do niteside-we just don't want to admit it because then the other side would "win".
Hahaha.
Update: CBS has the following with the quote from dermdoc:
"Okay, I am outed," he wrote. "I hate having to lay off anybody, but I had to for obvious reasons. Fortunately as stated earlier, I think the employee will get another job. Business owners and the 'rich' are not going to pay for Obamacare, the middle class is. We will cut costs via layoffs and raise prices or find someway to pass on the costs ot YOU."
"That is the way business works," he added. "...If that makes me an ahole, so be it."
Update II: So he's an ahole, a liar, and a wimp:

there was no layoff of anyone at my office.
Any of you reddit dweebs can check my employment records or call my office on Monday.
IT WAS ALL A TROLL!
I was merely making a hypothetical because of frustration with decreased reimbursements and future increased taxes.
It is really hard to believe that simply by posting a topic on the internet that I could make newspapers, several national talk radio talk shows-WITHOUT ANY VERIFICATION.
Whatever. What has the US become when you have entire web sites of people sitting around just waiting to screw with people and their families without even checking out the source.
Granted, all of this is my fault but any "Ag" who would screw with other Ags or this website because of one unverified post needs to seriously check out their life.
All you lefties can call off the preemptive strikes on me or my family, my wife actually was the one who made me do this because she feared for our safety.
I am done.
I now delete his real name as some commenters requested.
