The Health Care Law.

[Matthew3590]

If Obama was trying to look out for people with out insurance and help them get treated at hospitals why would he fine people for not having insurance? They would have more money not being fined and not having insurance than being fined and not having insurance.

Nothing is free about Canadian Health Care.

The Canadian system is similarly funded as the new Obamacare will be funded, through taxation.

Anyone remember Charlie Brown and how many times Lucy would jerk the football away when he tried to kick it? That is a perfect example of how way too many Americans trust the government.

Thanks for enforcing my point.

I think you are wrong Dennis. Point me to the provision in the law if you are sure. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-time-workers/2011/10/23/gIQAebjS9L_blog.html Everyone has to adjust with change, but this is why I really support safety nets for times of crisis.

So did you see the answer.
It's hard to believe that some that defend the law have no idea what's in it.
Many part time employees that have company insurance will lose it.
Maybe we should do like Greece and outlaw part time.

Paid for from taxes rather premiums to private insurers, perhaps.

Well if everyone buys insurance there's no tax payed.

Because it's not about healthcare. It's about money flowing which can be used to buy power and influence. Same as SS, Medicare and IT.

You should work for the Obama campaign, because they just can't figure out what to call it, yet.

actually, it says "part-time employees who are working full-time hours" I've worked for a lot of employers who do this. Many states have laws that state if a part-time employee works full-time for a certain amount of time (6 months in some states) then they have to be given full-time status and benefits. So what employers do is hire a "part-time" employee, work them 40 hours for just short of the time limit and then either replace them with a new part-timer or cut their hours to nothing for a few weeks. Then it's back to full-time hours but still none of the benefits.
The wording is to keep employers from taking advantage of this type of loophole to avoid providing benefits.
