"As a publicly traded company, we were responding to a direct question from an analyst on our quarterly financial conference call about the anticipated costs of complying with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

"When certain business costs increase - such as fuel, ingredients or employee healthcare - there is an impact to the price of products and services. The vast majority of Papa John's restaurants are owned by small business people, each of whom will be impacted in different ways by costs associated with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."

McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) also came out with a statement that the bill stands to cost each of its individual restaurants anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 depending on full and part-time employees, workers with coverage and more, FOX Business reported.
