Obamacare: Local governments cutting worker hours to avoid the Affordable Healthcare Act

As I have written several times in the past on America’s Watchtower there is a trend emerging as Obamacare goes into effect: In addition to downsizing their companies many employers are also cutting employee hours in order to avoid the healthcare law.

Those whom support Obamacare defend the law by blaming greedy corporations and capitalists for attempting to skirt the law by intentionally harming their workers in order to make a political point. In doing so these people willfully ignore the fact that these companies legitimately have to turn a profit in order to stay in business (and keep employing others) and Obamacare makes it increasingly more difficult to do so.

One has to wonder how these defenders of Obamacare feel about this news that local governments are using the same tactic in order to avoid the additional Obamacare costs.

Yet while private companies are getting all this unwelcome and hostile attention, local governments across the country have been quietly doing exactly the same thing — cutting part-time hours specifically so they can skirt ObamaCare’s costly employer mandate
