What the Obama media is actually doing investigations on the great Obama? Stunning.
Quote:
NBC News spoke with almost 20 small businesses and other entities from Maine to California, and almost all said that because of the new law they’d be cutting back hours for some employees – an unintended consequence of the new law.
At St. Petersburg College, a public university in Florida where most of the faculty is part-time, 250 have had their hours reduced for the fall term because the college said it can’t afford to offer them health insurance.
St Petersburg’s president, Dr. Bill Law, said providing health care for the 250 adjunct professors would cost more than $777,000 dollars a year. "The cost associated with making a part-timer benefits-eligible really is not available to us as a public college,” said Law.
"I don't think anyone [passed the law] so they could make our life worse,” said Law. “They did it because people need access to health care."
Part-time math professor Tracey Sullivan said she will lose half her income because of the cuts.
"I never thought it would impact me directly,” said Sullivan. “I was stunned when I got the email...I love teaching at St. Pete College but that is a significant cut."
Tracey is indicative of most liberals they support policies because they sound good but probably don't affect them. Then when it does they whine. Suck it up Tracey. http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_n...yee-hours?lite
Shouldn't private business owners be happy about Obamacare?
It gives them another chance to prove to everyone else they can outsmart the fools who sell their labor for a living.
Adapt! Win! Go Capitalism!
Did it ever occur to you that maybe they can't afford the increased costs ?
Nearly $1 million in new costs is pretty steep if you ask me.
It was the IRS that changed the game when they made 30 hours full time.
