You assume you would still work 40 hours. Could you live on a pay cut of 5 hours a week ?

Or do you even work at all ? Does Grad Soon mean high school ?

At the time Obamacare was passed, many businesses with 50 or more employees went into panic mode and capped their weekly hours at 29 so as to avoid mandated insurance coverage for them. 30 hours per week, under the Affordable Care Act, is defined as full time.

Oh, so you are a freeloader? Taxpayers are paying for your "free" healthcare.

My family and I pay taxes as well. Anything given me free is awesome

Free healthcare should be a right just like other western countries.

Obamacare should apply to ALL businesses with more than 5 employees !

Free healthcare for all... Cut foreign and military aid.

You should get same amount of salary; not less pay for working 35 h (unless you are paid hourly).

You assume 8 h workday means people actually work 8 h? Count the frequent breaks, going on social media, chatting with co-workers, etc.

Forty hours has worked well, why is it too much for 21st century man?
