Why don't you morons want workers to have the option of working up to 40 hours a week? Why do you morons want corporations to send them home at 30 hours?

An employer still needs a certain number of man-hours of labor to run his business
As it is, he will have to juggle a workforce of 29 hour empoyees to avoid paying health insurance. Not very efficient
Thanks to the Republicans, they can have a workforce of a thousand workers and dock each worker an hour a week to avoid having to give anyone health benefits

Before ObamaCare, we had the highest per capita spending on health care in the world. Health care costs were rising faster than inflation and GDP for decades.
The Republican Party absolutely depends on their rubes not remembering that, and especially depends on the rubes not remembering the Republican Party did ****-all about it.
Is ObamaCare an example of the cure being worse than the disease? Hell yeah. It won't do ****-all to bend the cost curve down. It achieves the transfer of health care costs for unproductive members of society onto the productive members of society, and that's it.
But no one should be so stupid as to believe the GOP is the frickin beleaguered hero in this story.

Because that's a lie you made up.
Working without health insurance for 39 hours a week or working without health insurance for 29 hours a week? Sounds like an improvement to me.
I know. Obama is going to obstruct everything.
This is better than Obama's idea.

if he learned anything from 43, I hope we wears out an entire box of pens signing vetos.

I thought this was an interesting article. It's about Yuval Levin, who is against Obamacare and his opinion about the GOP's action of raising up the full time hours to 40 from 30 hours.
=================================================
Yuval Levin: Forget 40-hour Workweek - Ditch Obamacare Mandate
Instead of trying to change Obamacare’s definition of a full-time worker from 30 hours to 40 hours a week, the new Republican-led Congress should repeal the employer mandate altogether, writes the National Review’s Yuval Levin.
Redefining a full-time worker under Obamacare is one of the first bills the 114th Congress is tackling, but The New York Times reports that a group of conservatives agree with Levin and others that the proposed legislation "seems likely to be worse than doing nothing.
"Putting the cutoff for the employer mandate at 40 hours would likely put far, far more people at risk of having their hours cut than leaving it at 30 hours," Levin wrote. "That would make for a worse effect on workers and on the economy."

=====================================================
Now I'm not a lover of Obamacare primarily because of the mandate. However, the GOP again comes out on the opposite side of the worker. They do it all the time. Let's look back at recent attacks on the working class and specifically the Middle Class.
The GOP recently blocked both raising the minimum wage and equal pay for women. Over 70% of the public supported both legislative bills. Did the GOP care? No. Even the Cato Institute wrote a paper saying that raising the Minimum Wage would help a majority of the Middle Class. History has shown there has never been a spike in unemployment or inflation when the Minimum Wage has been raised, this counteracts the excuse of the GOP. So the Middle Class remains spinning their wheels in the mire of flat wages.
Why does the GOP have a problem with the working Middle Class and the working public in general? Their track record certainly shows they really don't care about the working class.
I'm no lover of either the Democratic or the Republican parties, but the GOP is getting more and more easier to dislike even more. They are not the Republican Party I grew up with, they are now the Plutocratic Party.

He didn't have to do anything before, because his buddy Reid stopped anything he didn't like from getting to the POTUS. Hence Obama's moniker, The Fragile One, who must be protected from all things unpleasant at all times.

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.
Okay, I can only then assume you meant to comment on Bush's refusal to veto anything?

You are like one of those women who gets anally gang-banged in a porno. Faking orgasms while getting reamed up the ass by both parties.
"Well, at least this guy's dick is smaller!"
So you would rather have the people work part time and have to get another part time job ?
