The question should be will your employer cut your hours, not will YOU cut your own.

Yeah, crappy wording, I know. That’s just one of the tricks the media uses to obtain the result it is seeking.

Nope

Things may come to those who wait but, only the things leftover by those who didn’t.

I am more concerned about the "death panels"....like whats going on the the UK

Scaled up for relative population sizes....would give about 750,000 euthanizing events a year in the USA.

130,000 elderly patients killed every year by ‘death pathway’, claims leading UK doctor

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.”

What is the purpose of this stupidly worded poll question? What result are they looking for here? Are they trying to lead you to believe that because of Obamacare and its “very affordable rates” (HA) that people can now work less and still maintain their present standard of living. Bullcrap, people will have to work more hours at several different jobs to make ends meet.

that was my immediate thought too. Bad question. Of course, it was probably asked that way on purpose to skew the results. Individuals won’t be voluntarily cutting their own hours; employers will be cutting their hours to stay in business.

If you are close to the subsidy line, it makes sense.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
