We all have those moments. It's called having a brain fart.

Meh, it's only at the cost of upper middle class. If your corporation is lucky enough to be in Obama's inner circle, you don't need to worry about paying for it.

Several Wegmans employees confirmed part-time health benefits had been cut and said the company said the decision was related to changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act.

thanks Obama and the Dems.
Yup, don't blame Wegmans. It's all Obama's fault. Or perhaps it is yours for not reading further....

Why do you think the GOP doesn't want it to work at all? They know if it works just a teensie bit, there goes their power.

That’s because subsidized coverage can have a lower out-of-pocket cost for the insured employee while also providing better benefits than an employer-paid plan.
Under the Affordable Care Act, part-time employees are not eligible for health insurance subsidies if their employer offers insurance.

“It’s a win-win. The employee gets subsidized coverage, and the employer gets to lower costs,†Murphy said.'

It's not better for the people who actually have to foot the bill for others. Try to remember for once that nothing is free.

Good news! The sooner we get away from employer linked health care the better for all Americans. Ending this ridiculous remnant of early 20th century industrialism and replacing it with consumers buying on competitive exchanges is the most positive development that might come from Obamacare.

Health CARE is not linked to employers.
Health CARE is not health insurance.

No one is forced to take employer health insurance
Everyone is free to get their own.

I prefer employer based because it's subsidized.
I think it's great if you can get a job where the employer pays for part of my insurance.
It's a great benefit to employees.

A burger flipper job was never meant to be a career with high pay and benefits.
But, as the economy declines and the better paying jobs get offshored or filled by visa workers Americans have no choice but to take these lower paying jobs with no benefits.
