I get it that Obama wants to destroy the American economy, jobs, etc. and cause turmoil to create single-payer health insurance.

But someone please answer this question. Why is there no arguing on why Obamacare says 30 hours is fulltime? Why are there no moves to “fix” Obamacare to stipulate 40 hours as full-time? A lot of part-timers are getting hurt (I know, Obama wants everyone of us to hurt).

The only thing I could find, is Rep. Janice Hahn of California, noted that the intent of the 30-hour full-time employee definition was to increase the number of workers who would be covered by health insurance. She’s the ranking Democrat on a committee hearing complaints asking to change this 30-hour provision. Seems to be having the opposite intended effect, as these workers not only get coverage but are losing work.

Hillarycare had the exact same provision, declaring 30 hours as fulltime. When it was defeated in 1993, the ratio of part-time to full-time workers drastically went down, as companies went on a binge of hiring full-time workers, helping the economy recover from a recession.
