Obamacare’s Terrible Impact on Hispanics

Here’s something you won’t hear from the Hispanic media, the mainstream media, or the White House: Among the many terrible side effects of Obamacare is its adverse effects on Hispanics.

This stems from the fact that the Hispanic population is one of the youngest, in addition to Obamacare’s impact on the wholesale and retail industry, which employs many Hispanic Americans. Wholesale and retail will be hit especially hard by Obamacare, because, as one consultant noted, “employers not currently offering coverage to all employees working at least 30 hours a week may be more inclined to change their workforce strategy so that fewer employees meet that threshold.”

But don’t expect a press release on this hard truth, considering that the national unemployment rate for Hispanics is higher than the national average at almost 10 percent. Ignore the man behind the curtain who reminds you that retailers and hospitals are laying off workers and dropping coverage for part-time employees. …

This isn’t true. Bill Clinton said it’s not true. More full time workers have been hired than part time. /s

I have a HUGE problem with the term HISPANIC and it drives non mexican hispanics nuts. The truth is a lot of people from SA kind of look down upon mexicans...right or wrong thats the way it is.

Hispanics dont all look alike nor do they “speak alike”....then there are those that do not speak a word of Spanish!

If you watch Univision, Telemundo note that the news broadcast and shows are decidedly non mexican (indio)in appearance.....

The Spanish language networks usually dont cover anything that doesnt fit with their agenda...the same as the MSM.

Its been rumored that both networks are tightly controlled by the drug cartels and NO ONE better get out of line!

Rant of little importance off/

Then why is my 43 year old with 20 years of management and supervisory career doing a job of a 20 year old uneducated NO AMERICAN WOULD WORK? And it’s part time, no health ins. He’s a diabetic, can’t find the money for a trip to the Endo to get meds renewed. Can’t find a job because of existing long term illness. Wife just had a mascetomy, has Chemo to go, could be off work for a year, her’s was the full time job as a CNA, they have a 11 year old, and in 2 weeks could be homeless?

Food stamps are for illegals as is medicaid. Only reason she got on Breast and Cervical Medicaid is they barely make enough to pay rent and buy food and gas for the cars. And what is in the pantry is not fit for a diabetic, but does fill the stomach! Oh, I know they are White US CITIZENS that is the reason we had to by pass the jokers and go straight to their state GOP Rep.

Who actually visited their home and is working on the issues with the jokers at the food stamp office. One call from his personal assistant had them quaking in their $100 shoes, while I have to send money for school supplies out of my small SS check.

I completely agree. The left wants to label ALL Latinos as Hispanics and there is a perceived difference between Central, South America and the Islands. I've also witnessed the same contempt over the use of "Hispanic" for some people when it's used to categorize them as part of a group.

It all speaks to the ignorance of the leftist elite, IMHO.

I’m beginning to wonder if we’re not beginning the period of tribulation.

Well since the Rapture has not happened yet, we cannot be in the tribulation period. Rapture comes first according to Revelations. And Billions will just disappear from earth. Then all the judgements and woes will befall those left behind. You get 7 years to get Right with Jesus, or the bottomless pit awaits you at the throne of judgement.

God just has to get fed up enough with the new sodom and gomorah to order the Rapture Horn blown.
