Obamacare includes a minimum hour exemption and it should have been obvious to the authors of the bill that employers would cut hours to hit that mark.
If you think cutting hours to avoid providing benefits originated with Obamacare, then I've got a bridge to sell you
I think Obamacare was designed to accommodate it and give an additional incentive to do it.
You're expecting people who are worth a minimum of 7 figures to consider the plight of people who struggle to maintain 5 figures. Companies were already lowering time employees worked to begin with regardless.
I'm saying the ACA was a bad bill that was never intended to help anyone but insurance companies. We shouldn't be shocked that it includes workarounds for other businesses. Of course it does. Obama and the others who passed it knew that when they passed it. Thats why they wrote it that way.
True enough. It's your typical Democrat work, make a half measure that doesn't readily improve the situation but looks like it can.
