43. So your saying ACA does not have line

Tue Dec 10, 2013, 05:05 PM

Dec 2013

Requiring businesses of more than 50 people to provide health insurance to those working more than 28 hr per week? And that said nonexistent line has absolutely zero to do with every part timer working for my employer being cut to a max of 24 (from 40) scheduled hours per week.

Do I hate my employer, yes
has ACA effected me negatively, yep
