Goodbye free health care, hello 30 hour work week

Are you Beezer from AboveTS?

You appear to have Tea Party posts here at GLP.

Darlin ' we have been headed in that direction way before Obama. It was under Bush that the WH provided business with reducing hours and doing it in a manner which allowed for them not to have to pay overtime. Health care that has been provided was not ever free as you describe it, it was part of a package, agreed to between employers and employees

It was BIG business that designed the health care plan that passed. They wanted it. Look it up.

yeah and then workers will go on strike and then you will put them back on their schedules. grow a brain and skip all the dumb shit

It's gonna be hilarious. As a business owner I am definitely going underground. All my employees are going to 30 hours. Screw it. I'll dissolve my company before I pay that commie shit. And most business owners I know feel the same.

Let them strike. There are plenty of people looking for work. With this trend, there will continue to be plenty of people looking for second and third jobs too.

Yep, We were talking about this at the company I work for last week. We figured if Obama won we'd have to cut about everyone down to 28 hours a week, Which won't be hard, Hell we may even hire more people, But it's already decided this is what we are planning on doing in the new year. Enjoy Ya'll.

Not mandatory here. I can have all part time employees if I choose. If they try to change that I will just fire everyone and close shop. Or move my business to the Bahamas.

I am not alone in this thinking.

Any business owner threatening to dissolve their company over an issue probably doesn't have much of a business to begin with.

Obama will just pass laws to make it nearly impossible to do that. He will pass stiff penalties if that is the game they want to play.

I might be able to scrape by and live on 28 hours a week. But this leaves me with zero extra funds to pay for my own health coverage, or the tax fines for not having it. No one else is hiring, so a 2nd job is out of the question for now. What are people supposed to do in this situation?

and that will pay for what?

or thats right..the gubmint will pay for everything.

Its mandatory here for a employee to work min 48 hours/week (IT sector)... 30 hrs a week is unimaginable ... good luck

I work 20h a week AND I have free health care. Sweden rules.

Blame the cheap employers. Why blame the guy who is trying to provide affordable healthcare for you and your family.

Get a clue.

So I am completely ignorant when it comes to Obamacare and have a few questions for somebody that knows what they are talking about.

If employers will be required to provide health insurance for full-time employees, will that still hold true for employees who are full-time and covered under a spouse's policy?

An example would be a military spouse working a full-time job. They would be 100% covered by Tricare. If they didn't have to supply health insurance would it not be more beneficial for employers to hire people already covered by somebody elses insurance policy?

See what I mean, employers don't care about your health.

Finally we have an affordable system and they don't even want that for you.

Employers should be doing back flips now that they can provide healthcare for their employees.

NOT!

for the R's it all comes down to 'let 'em die' 'i got here all by myself' 'there is nothing in it for me in sharing at all and that's the way I'll live my life down to the micro level bum asking for a handout to the group of friends asking you to chip in for a surprise party for a friend that you just can't happen to make it to, all the way up to not wanting to pay your fair share for all the common good already around us that needs to be maintained--except for guns and aircraft carriers so they can make idle threats on message boards, feel smug about their lifestyle while caricaturing other preoples and customs, feeling self assured in the thought that just of our military being able to just about able to blow up any other countries while being virtually bulletproof with no personal sacrifice involved.

I still love you but I hope you type of people broaden your minds and realize the media for the best interests of america brands certain people threats for totally different reason. People are people. When you start dehumanizing people, you've in part dehumanized yourself.

Have a nice day. Hope this message helps you to rethink the values you've been pitched because cooperation is a lot better than subjugation and exploitation.

Let's be honest, you'll never go to 30 hours a week per employee, you'd never make any money. I know, cause I use to own a business myself! Unless you're sending jobs to China to save on labor, good luck with that. It's time to end the scare tactics.
