If Obama and gang somehow convince the Republicans to remove the 30 hour limit so that employers are forced to pay for insurance for part timers, there will be a switch to 60 hour weeks as standard. The extra overtime for one employee will be cheaper than insurance for two or three part timers. So people will either work 60+ hours or zero.

“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.”

I understand why this guy's hours were cut - two reasons. One, obamacare and the rising cost. Two, he's too ignorant or indoctrinated to see it, thus not real qualified as a professor.

Wake up people - particularly you lib lurkers out there. The fault isn't your employer. They have to look at the cost of providing healthcare under obamacare vs the cost of cutting hours and taking on more employees. Unlike the government, real world businesses actually have to balance the books. They can't spend more than they are bringing in. (well, not for long anyway - cash reserves and credit have limits) So when your hours are cut, or your existing healthcare coverage is reduced, and/or the costs go up while quality/availability goes down... Don't blame the medical industry, don't blame your employer. The fault lies 100% with your 'rat representatives and President.

Gee, I wonder who Kevin voted for. (Actually, I don't). You got exactly what you voted for, Kevin.

“Democratic volunteers found the entrance to their headquarters blocked by a massive pile of horse manure”
This gesture was emblematic of the oppressive road blocks to business prosperity. Try paying health care business plan cost escalations of 25% last year and 46% this year. And they are advertising and pushing this s*** with public money too.

"Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that the country, which remains deeply divided about the law, is similarly split about the delay in the employer requirement."

When half the country thinks something is bad, it doesn't mean that the country is "deeply divided". It means that the thing is bad....really bad. Note that the examples the ComPost gave were government agencies cutting hours to avoid the law. It isn't the evil businesses doing this, it's the sainted governments.

To quote from the Washington Post story in the OP..."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..."

Class, to review, Northern Virginia Community College is where Dr. Jill Biden teaches and is the institution of choice for the DC media and The NEA to obtain opinions for all things post secondary academic.

The impact on Pace and thousands of other workers in Virginia is an unintended consequence of the health law

Unintended rears its ugly head again. If Democrats pass a law and it backfires, it's always "unintended".

If Republicans pass a law and it backfires, it's evil.

Anybody with a lick of sense could have told you what would happen in the wake of Obamacare. So far, all the predictions have come to pass.

You get fewer hours and you have to buy your own expensive health insurance by law.

They didn’t see this coming?

Of course they did.

Gee, no kidding.

Looks like the clue bird finally dropped a poop bomb onto the pointy little heads of the WaPo editorial staff.

The Republicans should pass a law that denies federal funds to any city or state government entity that cuts hours to avoid Obamacare.

Pace, 34, said. “. . . This isn’t right on any level.”

And he’s absolutely correct. But sadly enough, I bet dollars to doughnuts Pace was a major Obama supporter and overall “progressive”, and was also a big Obamacare supporter too, no doubt because, like his fellow “progressives”, he thought he’d be getting something for nothing. He probably cheered the passage of Obamacare without having a clue as to what it actually contained, but his “progressive” leaders told him it was wonderful so he knew all would be well. Pace and his ilk are crying in their designer beer right as the Obamacare disaster unfolds and they find out that “progressives” are no more immune from being screw by it than the rest of us peasants. Maybe they’ll wise up next time. Naaaaaaa.

The impact on Pace and thousands of other workers in Virginia is an unintended intended consequence of the health law, which, as the most sweeping new social program in decades, is beginning to reshape aspects of American life. . .

Pardon, I just had to fix that.

If you look closely this is gov’t employed weenie verses govt employed weenie. The Federale O-Care weenies have reduced the employment hours of this state of Virginia employed weenie by calling 32 hours a full time employee and subject to 0-Care. So his state university employed music teacher (professor) got his hours cut back
