WBTV-NC: Lancaster County Firefighters Facing Millions In Extra Costs Due To ObamaCare (December 16, 2013)
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Obamacare: we haven’t seen a gift that “keeps on giving” quite like this one since the discovery of syphilis.
The fire fighters are just finding out whats in it.
Here’s a link to the story, along with a more complete copy of the video.

Lancaster County, SC is already suffering from Obamanomics. People are losing their jobs and homes.
Best option is for all volunteer fire departments to draft up letters to His Arrogance and his appointed lackeys stating that they should just eat cat feces with a dirty fork and then seek treatment under CommieCare if the death panels should approve.
Everyone should send pissant John Roberts a thank you card.
This is one fire that they can’t seem to put out.

My daughter’s a paramedic and volunteers at a fire station on weekends. Fortunately she volunteers less than 30 hours a week, but several of the fire fighters in her station do 30 hours or more. If Congress doesn’t pass that bill, her station will close.
but if you aren't being paid, how can it possibly apply??? and again, if you already have insurance, how can it apply? there are no time cards and no paycheck to show how much time you are there, and even if you are there over 30hours, how can they prove you aren't simply there drinking beer and shooting the breeze or washing you car etc?
They do clock her hours. When you’re in the EMT field, the hours accrued are needed for certification.
And believe me, when she’s there she’s working! :-)
true enough, but does she need to put in 30 hours a week to keep current? or can stop the clock when she has enough hours? and again, if they already have insurance i fail to see how forcing them to have a second ins policy is legal, the law states you have to have ins, not that you have to have more than one policy
but it's not so much about insurance as it is about ruining the country
She keeps up her hours just volunteering weekends at the fire station, so much less than 30 hours per week. She has a full-time job at an ER, after all. ;-)
Yep, requiring a volunteer, who, like my daughter, may already have insurance, is dumb - but we ARE talking about Obama...
