You are missing my point.
Millions of happy workers are already working their 34 hours, getting pro-rated full time benefits. Most of them are already getting insurance.
If they change this, those companies will jump at the chance to cut them down to part time benefits and blame the government.
Thinking large companies are going to continue offering retirement and others benefits when they don’t have to, then you are not aware of how these decisions are made in larger companies.
Some CFO will jump at the chance to improve profitability.
They don’t do it today out of the goodness of their hearts. Ever since I began in management we would try hard to get as much done with 25 hour employees as with 30’s. We never, in 25 years, restricted full time to 40 hours.
So, these fools pass this bill, thinking they are doing something and it will slam back into them like a wall of bricks.
The Republicans are fools who think we will blindly think what they are doing is chopping down O Care. The millions affected will not see it that way.
Anyone who actually ran a business would know this stuff. Rich lawyers and political hacks have no idea how the rules are actually set, and how businesses change their policies to meet the laws exactly.
I think that’s the point I made. Businesses will simply raise the hours to 39 per week. This will give those people who ordinarily did already receive health benefits to work more hours per week.
“Thinking large companies are going to continue offering retirement and others benefits when they don’t have to, then you are not aware of how these decisions are made in larger companies.”
Large companies offer those benefits because they need to offer them in order to attract qualified workers.
Or, at least, that always was the reason. It applies less and less with the glut of unemployed workers who will take nearly any work nowadays.
