It’s clear we need the Whitehouse AND the Senate.
Works for me.
Carney Jay said they don’t intend to implement the employer mandate. So if they repeal the individual mandate, I’m cool with that. We can have 0bamacare without 0bamacare.
Its clear we need the Whitehouse AND the Senate.
Just “taking” the WH and Senate means little in the kenyancare debate. There is no evidence the GOP will fight as hard to repeal it as the Dems did to ram it through. In fact, many of the big GOP donors are fine with socialized medicine for the proles. They won’t be funding the GOP to fight the repeal battle.
I wish they could define “full time” as 168 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, and exempt anyone who works less from ObamaCare.
I have a friend who just got a 36 hr/week job. The 36 hrs is based on the Friday-Sunday days where he’ll be working 12 hrs a day. They didn’t need anyone for the other days in the week. Basically, he’s part of the crew that keeps the shop running over the weekend. He’ll get healthcare for his family. At 40 hrs, he probably wouldn’t get healthcare and the company may not be willing to increase his hours.
When I was getting ready to retire, I worked from home for several months on a reduced workweek of 32 hrs. That allowed me to keep my benefits.
So, this 40 hr rule could work against some people.

On what do you base your conjecture that "at 40 hours he wouldn't get healthcare"??
If he gets healthcare at 36 hours, why not at 40?
So let’s see just wait and see the Senate does with this.
That would 30 hours,not 50 right? I think there is a typo in the posting.
The MSM spin on congressional Republican voting patterns: If the Republicans are united, they are being “partisan”; if they are divided, they are in “disarray.”
Only conjecture but if full time is redefined as 40, he would no longer be a full time employee and the company might not increase his hours.
Nevermind, I apparently can’t read...I misread the statement and understand it now.
It’s Friday, right?
Need. Alcohol.
That's sort of like saying let's just wait and see if the sun comes up tomorrow morning, right?
OMG, “Save American Workers Act”. Who could possibly oppose that?! What a joke. When they come up with those titles, what are they thinking? It ticks me off that people could possibly be swayed by crap like that.
All great titles from the feds are total BS. AFORDABLE care act has nothing to do with affordable care? Community REINVESTMENT act has nothing to do with investing. Adorable Kittens and Puppies act has nothing to do with puppies or kittens.
Why are we allowing government to create arbitrary terms - full and part time, and assign legal obligations to those who employ members of those caste systems? Didn’t we lose the argument when that happened?
Why are republicans trying to help obama out of the mess he created?
