First of all, if you've got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan , you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan...
Now the question this reporter cannot answer: How many of these people voted for B Hussein Obama and are feeling stabbed in the back now? Welcome to the new United States boys and girls.
SURPRISE: PA COLLEGE SLASHES INSTRUCTORS' HOURS TO AVOID OBAMACARE
Pennsylvania's Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is slashing the hours of 400 adjunct instructors, support staff, and part-time instructors to dodge paying for Obamacare.
"It's kind of a double whammy for us because we are facing a legal requirement [under the new law] to get health care and if the college is reducing our hours, we don't have the money to pay for it," said adjunct biology professor Adam Davis.
On Tuesday, CCAC employees were notified that Obamacare defines full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week and that on Dec. 31 temporary part-time employees will be cut back to 25 hours. The move will save an estimated $6 million.
"While it is of course the college’s preference to provide coverage to these positions, there simply are not funds available to do so," said CCAC spokesperson David Hoovler. "Several years of cuts or largely flat funding from our government supporters have led to significant cost reductions by CCAC, leaving little room to trim the college’s budget further."
Well Professor Davis your story is being replayed all across this great country. Why should you being any different. But you can tell your students you "feel their pain".
The solution, says United Steelworkers representative Jeff Cech, is that adjunct professors should unionize in an attempt to thwart schools seeking similar cost-savings efforts from avoiding Obamacare.
"They may be complying with the letter of the law, but the letter of law and the spirit of the law are two different things," said Mr. Cech. "If they are doing it at CCAC, it can't be long before they do it other places."...
No Mr Cech, it is already heaping all over the country. But you wanted it. And you got it. Congratulations.
Yes, and "BY LAW" they will be responsible as “citizens” to pay, out-of-pocket for ‘affordable healthcare’ from a selection of ‘options’ made available through the pooled resources of healthcare providers as set-up in the ‘Healthcare Affordability Act, a.k.a. obamacare. Trouble is nobody today can tell you what that payment amount is exactly, because the funding for the reimbursement for the federal program (read that to be TAXES) has yet to be put in place. As it is the purview of the House of Representatives to initiate any spending or taxation bills, it’s not likely to come from a Republican majority House about to commence business. So, as per his usually modus operandi, if Obama want’s his healthcare plan funded he’ll have to “order it” via one of his now infamous “executive orders”, which will, once again, violate the specifically outlined separations of powers in the Constitution between the Legislative and Executive Branches of the Federal Government, and as yet, another impeachable offense committed by the current administration. Just another day on Capital “Crime” Hill.

DeleteWe all know what this is for. Obamacare is a bridge to single payer. With the elections earlier this month our only hope is tying this up in the courts until a conservative takes the presidency and leads the congress. But I have faith, the RINOs in the Republican leadership will again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
