Obamacare mandates that any firm that has over fifty employees must provide health insurance to its employees if they are full-time employees. It is not just any health insurance that must be provided, but it is GOVERNMENT APPROVED policies that must be provided. These are expensive. If companies refuse to provide this coverage to full-time employees, they have to pay a fine.
The Obamacare law now defines full-time employees as someone who works more than 30 hours a week.
It does not take a rocket scientist or a Ph.D. in Economics to figure out that if there is going to be a huge cost penalty for someone working more than 30 hours a week, then employers are going to try and save costs by having workers work fewer than thirty hours a week.
Many companies are now cutting their marginal employees to 29 hours a week in anticipation of the implementation of Obamacare. For many Americans, this will be the new norm. Many Americans will have to stitch together two or even three or more part time jobs in order to make a living and ALSO to pay the individual penalty for Obamacare that they will be hit with, as they will now not be covered by employer provided insurance.
The new American nightmare will be people who might have been middle class a decade before now trying to tie together a life with part-time jobs.
Instead of hiring that fiftieth employee and triggering all of the costs and penalties that would go along with that employee, many companies are going to start looking at hiring independent contractors or small businesses to handle tasks that once would have been handled in-house.
This is the golden opportunity for conservatives.
There is an old joke. What is a conservative? It is a liberal who has had to pay increasing taxes.
This is the message we must reach out to America with. Many Americans are unemployed thanks to the policies of the Obama Regime. Obamacare will prove, once again, that Socialism is a failure.
