For Kevin Pace, the president’s health-care law could have meant better health insurance. Instead, it produced a pay cut.
Like many of his colleagues, the adjunct music professor at Northern Virginia Community College had managed to assemble a hefty course load despite his official status as a part-time employee. But his employer, the state, slashed his hours this spring to avoid a Jan. 1 requirement that all full-time workers for large employers be offered health insurance. The law defines “full time” as 30 hours a week or more.
“We work so hard for so little pay,” he said. “You would think they would want to make an investment in society, pay the teachers back and give us health care.”
This month, the Obama administration delayed the employer insurance requirement until January 2015. But Virginia, like some other employers around the country that capped part-timers’ hours in anticipation of the initial deadline, has no plans to abandon its new 29-hour-a-week limit.
The impact on Pace and thousands of other workers in Virginia is an unintended consequence of the health law, which, as the most sweeping new social program in decades, is beginning to reshape aspects of American life. . .

Not likely, they’re the Affirmative-Action indoctrinated spawn of the boomer generation that has re-elected the same Democrats and Republicans for decades and is responsible for the idiocy that created ACA.
He split the boomer vote in 08 but this last time? No it doesn’t appear to be the case, in 2012:
Nor does it explain the rise of the power of the tea party which helped in 2010 to stop zero and his goulish minions from doing more damage.
Healthcare was passed without any republicans at all. It was Boomers who beseiged Congress during the deliberations to demand it not be passed only to be taunted by the likes of Nazi P and Reed. That it was upheld by idiotic reasoning in the scotus is a continual shame.
Either way, we are stuck with a monstrosity that will ruin the health care for me and thee in this country.
Blaming Generation X when it was passed in the Senate and the House by Boomers who should know better, is the height of hypocrisy. And again - 08 led to 12. Had boomers actually supported a conservative we would not have had Romney.
I agree.
Conservatives do not live in a vacuum. They have to appeal to masses like Reagan did. No one running had anywhere near that appeal so we ended up with Romney. Too many conservatives refused to vote for him by staying home...enough that he should have won even with the massive voter fraud in the key precincts in Pa and OH.
We should not be where we are but here we are.
“Too many conservatives refused to vote for him by staying home.”
Too many liberals voted for him throwing him the nomination. I’m sorry, when we have liberals choosing our nominees for us, we are never going to win.
We have an obligation as Conservatives to vote for the conservative nominee who has a chance to win. This did not happen. We had a conservative who actually defeated Romney and what happened here? Many folks here abandoned him. Thus, Romney.
