Don't get me started. I know plenty of companies and small businesses who have laid off workers and demoted others to part-time to keep under the 50 employee rule to avoid paying for health insurance.

Okay, so answer me this. Who is putting a gun to these people's heads demanding they take these jobs? Furthermore, if they were full time, you'd be crying about bigger government.
