(Before It's News)

This Beforeitsnews reporter has learned that Obamacare is affecting people’s lives in a way that will only hurt millions of Americans.  This is a story I am sure is being echoed across America.  This is also a personel story because its affecting my family whcih is how I am learning about this.

According to my source, Working class Americans working at a certain convenient store chain based out of Connecticut is cutting back hours for everyone employed except for management positionsto 27 hours a week at the most.  This is to take effect on the 18th of April.  So anybody who wasnt management and working 30-40 hours or more a week, who relied on that income to support and sustain their alrady hard lives will now more than likely have to take on second jobs or whatever to keep from falling into poverty.  As we all know, that is no easy task these days.  Just finding a job, let alone a job to be able to live on, is quite a feat.   

My source is lucky, ‘she’ happens to be an assistant manager, however that has its setbacks too.  ’She’ will now be working 40+ hours a week because ‘she’ has to fill in the time that will be cut and taken from the others.  This means less time with family, less time to relax, more stress, more physical hardships on the body, etc etc.   Nobody wins.  

This is the reality of Obamacare.  Its also come to light that while they cut these people’s hours, company executives get bonuses 4 times a year and throw parties every weekend.  Such is the reality of this capitalist, Socialist, Fascist police state utopia called America in which we live.  Good luck people..  -Mort

  • It’s not clear by what you are saying how Obamacare is reducing employee hours. Are hours being reduced by the company to PAY for O-care? What’s the connection please.

    Obamabuse is real enough but we need direct connections to build a case against insanity.

    • I am not totally in the know on Obamacare, but it has to do with the penalties/fees that employers will have to pay in order to have full time employees. If they cut their hours back, the employers will not have to deal with the extra money they would lose. That is the general idea.

      • obamacare,
        any workers who work 29 hours or more must have insurance, obamacare insurance is very expensive and if you do not take it then the fine is 3 to 4 times the premium cost, loop hole is keep your employees under 29 hours and it does not apply, it sucks and nothing you can do about it except to help repeal it !!! and yes there is more details but too lengthy to discuss here

  • Zaxby’s fast food has done the same ,they have posted notices on the time clock vowing to fire anyone who is clocked in more than 28 hours in sc

  • The reality is that businesses even ones in the health insurance
    business and care of patients face having to offer health insurance
    coverage to full-time employees. That is why hours are cut. It’s
    been happening over the last 5 years and eventually people will
    only work part-time in any jobs. The new economic reality for most
    of us will be poverty or near poverty, especially in older and sicker
    segments of society.

  • The irony is that it took us hundreds of years to create one of the best health care
    systems in the world.. And it is only taking a bunch of lobbyist/ bureaucrats a few
    short years to tear it all back down, destroying lives and the entire “system” in the
    process of “reform”.

    Glad that he has his name on the very instrument that will totally destroy people’s
    ability to work the hours that are needed to sustain their way of life, and take away
    essential medical care in the process. One thing is for sure, when all of the rest of
    the nightmares involved in this “reform” come to light, there will be no mistaking
    who did it, because it is named after the “chosen one”!

    I can’t believe how many people think that it is “free health care”! Callers who call
    in to our local talk radio actually believe that it is FREE! Then the talk show host
    explains that you have to have your children insured OR face a huge
    fine, and then they say that “this just can’t be”! But yet there it is!
