Virginia Cuts State Employees’ Hours To Avoid Providing Obamacare Coverage

As part of his state’s new budget, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and his administration are trying to force potentially tens of thousands of public sector employees in the state to work fewer hours so that the government can avoid providing them health care.

Under Obamacare, employers are required to offer health insurance options for any employee working 30 hours or more per week. So McDonnell and his team have slipped language into the state’s budget bill requiring that any hourly waged workers employed by the state put in no more than 29 hours a week.

The rule applies to a range of state employees, including adjunct college professors:

Looks like the Gov. is on to something. Probably will have a hard time passing this legislation. However, future hires may be required to accept employment without healthcare. It will be poetic justice that this monstrosity will affect Democrats also.
