"Businesses cut full-time workers to meet Obamacare mandate, study says"
The President and his representatives continue to deny this; BUT, this survey shows that their denials are not accurate.
Is that any surprise?...
Is that any surprise?...
The Christian Science Monitor's Mary Trumbull reports on this:
"First, President Obama had to backtrack from his promise that if you like your health insurance plan, under Obamacare 'you can keep it.' Now, a new study is suggesting that, under Obamacare, 'If you like your workweek, you can’t necessarily keep it, either.'
About 30 percent of small franchises and 12 percent of other small businesses say they are cutting work hours – or swapping full-time for part-time workers – because of the law, according to a poll sponsored by business groups.
The moves are part of a bid to control health-care expenses, and they are a sign of how the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was designed to greatly expand the number of Americans who have health insurance, could be having some unintended consequences in the job market."
