OBAMACARE UPDATE

A double whammy: no insurance and a pay cut
While President Obama and his allies hide their heads in the sand, the mainstream media is uncovering evidence that America is quickly becoming a "part-time nation."  Under ObamaCare, full-time employees working 30 hours or more must be covered. But last week, NBC News reported:

"Employers around the country, from fast-food franchises to colleges, have told NBC News that they will be cutting workers’ hours below 30 a week because they can’t afford to offer the health insurance mandated by the Affordable Care Act."

NBC News even went so far as to call it "a double whammy: no insurance and a pay cut." But President Obama's top economic advisor, Jason Furman, dismissed the network's findings saying:

“We are seeing no systematic evidence that the Affordable Care Act is having an adverse impact on job growth or the number of hours employees are working.”

The Obama administration clearly is choosing to ignore compelling evidence that the President's health care takeover will hurt thousands of Americans -- before it even has a chance to help them.

According to a recent Forbes article, "Obamacare is accelerating a disturbing trend towards 'a nation of part-timers.'"  And FOX News reports, "Three key groups that will be hit hardest are unions, school workers and local government workers."

This week, retailer Forever 21 announced that, due to ObamaCare, it would reduce non-management workers' hours to 29.5 per week starting on August 31. Fast-food giants Subway and Papa John's have warned that their employees could face a similar fate.  Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is on record saying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will cost his company $5 million to $8 million a year.

The bottom line is that ObamaCare is bad for America.  It's bad for employers, and it's bad for employees.  But while the President and his minions conveniently ignore the truth, grassroots patriots are taking action to stop ObamaCare.
