Your current company is just as much to blame as ObamaCare.
How is that,this should be a good one.
The company obviously never offered health insurance to their employees. So it is a shitty job at a shitty employer.
Now that they are being mandated by the government to provide insurance for their full time employees, the company has chosen to get rid of as many full time employees as possible by making them part time.
Now all those part time employees will become government dependents. The company is shoving its business expenses onto the backs of taxpayers, courtesy of the ObamaCare vehicle.
I had no problem affording my own healthcare through my salary.
However, -$24,000 a year makes it impossible for me to get healthcare.
My employer never had to provide health insurance for me, because my job paid MORE THAN ENOUGH for me to make MY OWN choice about which plan I wanted.
One of the ideal solutions for real health care reform would be to eliminate employer-sponsored health insurance. I have mentioned this several times in health care topics. Employer-sponsored health insurance drives the cost curve up.
I am glad you were paid wages which made it possible to buy your own health insurance. However, I doubt someone with a family to support would be able to do the same.
Nevertheless, I would strongly urge you to follow OriginalShroom's advice and write to your Representative and both Senators about this. And be sure to quote from your employer's letter citing the ACA as the reason for your sudden misfortune.
Further explain this will cause you to drop your pursuit of higher education due to having to get a second job, thus ensuring you will become more dependent on the government's insurance subsidies rather than becoming self-sufficient.
Not kidding. Write to your Congressmen. Now.
Don't rant. Don't rage. Lay out the facts and appeal to reason.
