    And imagine blaming it on the government instead of the shitty business practices (that was put in that place by the businesses).

      I bet this guy will gladly vote for an R every election. Idiot doesn’t even realize that he wouldn’t even have insurance if it weren’t for obongo care.

        This guy wouldn’t have insurance, or he’d have to get it on the marketplace. He’d qualify for some subsidies but it wouldn’t be free. If you’re part time you usually don’t get insurance, and Obamacare means tests who gets subsidies for insurance.

          This is it. To be super clear, the guy is complaining that he only gets 25 hours a week because of ACA- this implies that his employer would have to offer insurance if they gave him more hours.

        Yeah doesn’t the aca require insurance companies to cover people under 26 on their parents policies? Also I remember only getting limited hours for the same reason back in the 80’s long before anybody heard of Obama

          Something like that yes. I don’t remember the number but one of the features of that program was a lower threshold where businesses need to start kicking in benefits. Previously the threshold was 30 hours so people weren’t allowed to work 30 else the company needed to provide healthcare. ACA attempted to catch more workers, but shitty businesses just cut hours
