Only in America part2. What are the 29ers?

in #life8 years ago

Let's call our 18 year old American student Janice.She works at a super market in order to pay for her college.                       She usually works about 37 hours a week in order to make her college tuition.

Today was a bad day for Janice,she just heard from her boss that she now belongs to the 29ers.

WHAT ARE THE 29ers?

Since 2015 the affordable care act requires her's and most companies to provide health care to every employee who works more than 30 hours per week.

It is not that her boss and bosses around the country would not want to provide it their staff but it would be too expensive for most of them to afford without raising prices or stuff cuts.

So in effect the affordable care act cuts the working hours for hundreds of thousands of people to 29/week                      

What that means is that people like Janice will HAVE to find a second job to get the same amount of money and still not get health insurance.

No government want people to be unhappy.But what needs to change is the decision makers of this country.

It is all about policy.
