He has worked there 40 hrs. a week for a long time. Now he is being cut to a less than 30 hr. work week and he will no longer be able to get the insurance once Obamacare kicks in and yes, that Co-op is unionized (you'd never know it would you?)!

He's just a tad bit p/o'd to say the very least (not that I blame him).

He voted for Obama X2 and feels like he's been "hoodwinked" as he put it.

Not good, not good at all, esp. if you happen to have a pre-existing condition as this young man does!

Something is very wrong with this picture!

Yep. enlightenment Sep 2013 #10

Is there a finite budget for the ACA or is it funded whatever the cost? dkf Sep 2013 #11

I think there was a budget baseline established - enlightenment Sep 2013 #14
