Actually a human is still a human when they are 26 and only work 30 hours a week.
And it's great we live in a country that can easily afford to give citizens health insurance and I'm thankful a few people, mainly Democrats, are humane in trying to extend health coverage to everyone.
At 26 you should be well into or starting a career by then. Not in your parents basement. 26 is not a child. 24 is not a child. 22 is not a child. You should be taking care of yourself for the most part by then.
Why cant you liberals realize what you are actually sacrificing in the false name of "compassion"? Are you blind on purpose or just so ignorant you dont realize what you're doing?
Did you read the whole post in the OP? Changing tactics may not work pending when the change is done. Obamacare mandates employers look back at least 3 months at an employees hours to determine full time status.
Between 3 and 12 months. Obamacare doesn't kick in full until 2014. There's still time.
I know of one person who said he's going to go solo and just 1099 his help. He's giving up.
This was the small business guy that repaved my driveway. We got to talking. Said this was all just a complicated mess and he wasn't about to go out and hire an accountant because business was slow to begin with. Said the easiest thing to do was just have no employees and 1099 everyone and treat them as contractors.
The micro businesses won't hire at all..not even temp for the summer. It's all cash under the table with them now.
Say good bye to the dream of starting and building a company from the ground up to be a big success.
Don't care. I want everyone to have affordable healthcare no matter what it takes. And I want it all done in on big swoop...not in phases with a little bit more and a little bit more which will keep people angry with each new issue. Do it all at once, single payer/national heath/whatever you want to call it and I guarantee in 10 years nobody will be complaining and everyone will be thankful.
Unfortunately it's going to be slow, painful and anger filled because that's how we do it in America.

Well, that would mean every employer out there needs to be keeping up with these new rules/regulations as they are leaking out and planning accordingly. Its not like they are just going to openly announce it all ahead of time and give them time to do whats best for the business.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer (US Department of Labor). The definition by employer can vary and is generally published in a company's Employee Handbook. Companies commonly require from 30–35 hours per week to be defined as full-time and therefore eligible for benefits.
How many hours is full-time employment? How many hours is part-time employment?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer. Whether an employee is considered full-time or part-time does not change the application of the FLSA.
The standard for full time was typically 40 hours a week in the past, however many employers consider employees as full time working different schedules i.e. over 30 hours, 35 hours, 37.5 hours, etc. Full time employees may be provided with benefits, including a pension, health insurance, paid vacation, and sick time, that are not offered to part time employees.
Pension or retirement benefits – if a company offers such benefits, the federal law known as ERISA provides that an employee who works at least 1,000 hours in a twelve-month period must be given the chance to elect participation in the pension or retirement plan (this is known informally as the "thousand-hour rule" – see 29 U.S.C. § 1052)
Health insurance benefits – if an employer has a health insurance plan, Rule 28 T.A.C. § 26.4(15) provides that an "eligible employee" is anyone who usually works at least 30 hours per week

Oh everyone will have healthcare by 2014. Affordable..that's debatable.
Employer mandates..well don't blame companies for doing what they have to to stay in business, especially the small ones. The big companies/multi nationals can afford this so best hope you get a job with them.
At 26 you should be well into or starting a career by then. Not in your parents basement. 26 is not a child. 24 is not a child. 22 is not a child. You should be taking care of yourself for the most part by then.

No, at 26 you should have universal health care provided by the government, at 2/3rd the US cost, regardless of who you are, or what you do.
Your way is extremely stupid, inhumane, and costly.

It looks someone has not had to experience what it was like being a 20 something year old in this economy for the past five years.
