1. no the ACA didn't do that, your company who doesn't want to pay medical benefits to their employees
did that.
Yes, it did, you idiot.
The Federal government forced an increase in the labor cost per full-time employee, and the company (which has no moral responsibility to pay for employees' health insurance), made the only choice it could to maintain profitability- which is the sole reason any business exists.
2 x 20 hrs/wk + 0 employer's health insurance costs
< 1 X 40hrs/wk + employer's portion
Own it, DUmmy.
