In the Republican version of Obamacare, any company that cuts their full time employees one hour a week doesn't have to pay healthcare
Quite a loophole
Under obamanationcare, those full time employees (which did not have employer provided health insurance to start with) would face sharp reductions in the amount of hours they could work and thus what they would get paid. Do understand this?
Before obamanationcare:
No employer paid health insurance, 40 hours/week work.
After obamanationcare:
No employer paid health insurance, 29 hours/week work.
After first fix to obamanationcare:
No employer paid health insurance, 39 hours/week work.
I don't know about you, but as a worker I would prefer doing away with obamanationcare, but if I can't have that, I'll take the fix.
Cutting employees 11 hours a week places a burden on the employer. He must now hire 25% more workers and juggle his time schedule to provide full coverage of the workweek. What has been shown so far is that most employers have not done this
By allowing employers to just cut 40 hr/week employees by just an hour, Republicans are providing a loophole where nobody has to provide health insurance
