From small businesses to major corporations companies all over the United States and warned obamacare is gonna send health care -- through the roof will now there are also warning.

About the increase the cost of a slice of pizza and even your groceries because of Obama -- our next guest is the executive vice president of from.

For Domino's Pizza or her name is -- -- and she's been with the company since 2002 Olympic surgery -- -- today from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Good morning Steve well now one of the things about obamacare is they want -- -- restaurants to have the calorie counts up on the wall.

And one of the problems for dominoes is I understand that because you can put all different elements on a pizza you've got 34 million possible combinations.

That would be a very big wall you would need.

Yes it would be like calorie wallpaper for the inside and the outside of the stores.

So and this is -- one of the most -- them regulations that under obamacare you've got to comply with right.

Yes the Office of Management and Budget was actually the one that came out with -- statistic that said it would be the third most burdensome regulation of that year.

And we agree.

We're just really asking for some common sense applications to this.

You know -- -- made up of small business franchisees affect the pizza industry in general areas.

And these are extra burdens that are tough for small businesses to -- -- and not really helpful to consumers and so we're just saying look.

We wanna calorie label in fact most of us have done it.

Voluntarily now for over a decade and so it's not it's not the disclosure that's an issue for us it's just the common sense that supplied to it.

We want to be able to label.

I'm lying or in small brochures in the in the stores as opposed to on the menu boards which for delivery pizza delivery system.

Most customers don't even look at -- Absolutely and and if you've got 34 million possible topping combinations.

You know it it would be hardest if you if you put up even that you let's say 500 album nobody's going to be able to read that.

But if somebody was really interest -- you had a little brochure that would make perfect sense so.

You know it seems like kind of a no brainer to me.

It does but the -- FDA is the one interpreting the rules and they're not seeing it that way -- solution.

Is to take the calories for a whole pizza pie and put a giant range on the menu board and as we found in New York when we've tested this.

Customers don't even know what it is they think there might be a coupon code -- -- -- them and it doesn't help out.

Well may be -- the FDA will wake up and smell the pepperoni and realize it's a bad idea and they'll change things.

Well -- -- from the Domino's Pizza we thank you very much for parents live from Michigan.

Thank you Steve.
