We have a winner. My biggest complaint about ACA. Logically it should be handled like a payroll tax. If it is handled like a step function, then profit maximization would dictate employers do what they are planning on doing. They have been doing it for years where union contracts dictate benefits after a certain number of hours. My wife got into trouble because she worked too many hours and qualified for benefits for one quarter (she was just working when they told her).

Saying you won't buy the pizza doesn't solve the problem.

I find fascinating how my office workers are saying ACA will lead to our employer just paying the penalty instead of giving us health benefits. I ask them why does the employer currently give us health benefits? Their reply after some prodding - market conditions. I said what changes under ACA. They do not have an answer.
