    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
