Thanks, Mr. President, for Making the Recession Longer and Harder

|

3822193_s-300x199.jpgObamacare. The word just screams to have scorn laid upon it for the deceptive tactics and outright lies used to get it passed. But it’s about to get worse.

Obamacare is about to kick small businesses in the teeth in 2015.

That’s right. Starting in March 2015 (yep, this year, folks), Obamacare is requiring companies with 100 or more employees to insure all employees working 25 or more hours a week (what are we now, France?) with Obamacare approved (i.e. more expensive) coverage or face fines of $2,000 per employee.

The effect is that either these businesses will pass on the prices to consumers making everything more expensive (how’s that gonna help our economic recovery?) or they will pay the fine and then pass that expense on to consumers (sounding familiar?). Either way, we get the shaft price-wise.

Oh, yeah, or these companies reduce hours and/or no longer hire as many “full-time” (since when was 25 hours full time?) workers so that they don’t have to pay for that insurance coverage. That means that you have to work two jobs, neither of which are full time, just to make ends meet, prices will be higher, and you’ll have to pay for your own high-priced insurance through an Obamacare-approved provider.

As Investors Business Daily put it:

“Universal health care is hardly “free,” and its costs hit both employees and customers hard. Service companies — including even garbage collectors — are passing on the added cost to customers in the form of higher bills.”

Thanks, Mr. President, for just making this recession longer and worse.

Paul: I still get hassled over seasonal employs during cherry harvest I have 40-60 guys for 12-18 days and I still don't know if I have to pay this! the problem is I cant pass it along, I'm at the mercy of the buyer! it seems that ag may have been over looked. further more most of these are green card workers.

Nowadays, 40 hours isn't even considered full-time. I hope to only work 40 hours when I'm getting close to retiring and want to cut back my runs.

Of course he will still brag about how many jobs HE created while overlooking the number of businesses that folded as a result of HIS policies.

Funny the way the law is written, if we hire an "guest worker" we do not have to provide any health insurance to them by order of the Federalies! They give us a $3000.00 bonus for hiring non Americans. Just need an Amnesty Card.

"Under the ACA, employers may be required to pay penalties if their employees are eligible for tax credits to purchase health insurance through the law’s new marketplaces. But those who gain provisional legal status under Obama’s immigration plan are not eligible for health care subsidies — The White House says this will help create an incentive for employers to hire those with provisional legal status. This will help them acclimate into the U.S. work force and society ".

VA waiting list??? I just got card in the mail a month or so ago that authorized me to use civilian health care doctor at the VA expense, apparently you contact the VA if they cant see you then you are able to see a civilian doctor. I filed it away since I use my Tricare for everything, same civilian Doctor for the last 5 years since I retired and we moved up here. His dad was a SF NCO who died of Vietnam related illness/injury, very keen on making sure I get taking care of. I only see the VA for the service connected injuries treatment that is non-invasive check ups. My injury surgeries were/are done through Tricare and manged through my civilian Doctor. My Doctor follows up and discusses treatment plans since I have had to see three different specialists. When I see the neurologists or physical therapy docs at the VA I give them copies of my civilian medical records, they give me a quick exam ask me how things are going and set me up for follow up appointment in another couple months.

Don't worry we have Apple picking here and they never pay anything else. They do bitch about paying more than minimum wage though.

Speaking of the minimum wage, I heard on the news the other day that the consumer price index had dropped. That made me wonder...several states have tied their minimum wage to the CPI, so that wages go up as prices do. So, with CPI down, will the minimum wage be lowered? It would only be fair...

Apparently the VA in Northport L.I. has their own priorities for service related non life threatening problems. Could be why they gave out raises and bonuses to the upper tier management? I was told to get an advocate to help deal with them. Seems to be SOP here in N.Y.
