The Young Turks Cenk Uygur with some follow up to the story Karoli wrote earlier this week, on the CEO's having fits over Obamacare -- Papa John’s owner can afford a turntable for his limousines, ‘but he doesn’t have enough money for health insurance for his employees’:

Cenk and Current TV correspondent Jacki Schechner call out Papa John’s Pizza owner John Schnatter for claiming he can’t afford Obamacare. Schnatter took home almost $3 million in 2011 alone, and holds Papa John’s stock worth $297 million. “He has a moat! This dude has a moat on his house,” Cenk says, and but he’s still complaining about needing to pitch in for his employees’ healthcare.

As Cenk rightfully pointed out, maybe they could afford to pay for health insurance if they just quit giving away so many of those free pizzas.

And as this article from Forbes reported, the cost per pizza may be quite a bit lower than was originally estimated -- Breaking Down Centi-Millionaire 'Papa' John Schnatter's Obamacare Math

Here's more from The Daily Show where, as Cenk opened with above, Jon Stewart tore into the CEOs as well -- Jon Stewart Rips Attempted Secessionists And CEOs For Whining About Obama's Re-Election.

After we had the CEO of Papa John's complaining about the price of his pizzas going up a whole few nickels a pie in order to cover the cost of taking care of health care for his employees due to "Obamacare" and of course the harpies over at Fox chiming in and carrying water for him as well, Jon Stewart took them to task on his show this Tuesday evening.

As he noted, he can't turn on the television without seeing two-for-one specials and other giveaways with your pizza purchases, so it's likely somehow society will be able to absorb the extra costs for the pizzas. But of course Fox and the rest of them don't have a word to say about what climate change, this drought we're going through and how that is going to affect the price of the pizzas.

After showing a clip of Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends talking about "some of the glaciers actually getting bigger," here's how Stewart wrapped things up:

STEWART: Yeah, that's why they watch Fox. You know why? Because it's so much easier than literally sticking your head up your own ass to shut out reality. So to summarize, the pizza costs a little more, but in return, everyone gets health insurance, outrageous! But if it costs a lot more because human activity is burning our planet to an uninhabitable husk... ahhh... what the f**k.
