Obamacare Side Effect: VA Gov Bob McDonnell Cuts State Employees’ part-time Hours

State agencies are reducing part-time employees’ hours until officials figure out how to comply with federal health insurance requirements regarding those who work more than 30 hours each week. 
Gov. Bob McDonnell ordered agencies to cut back part-time employees to no more than 29 hours each week to avoid triggering a provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires health insurance coverage be provided to those who work more hours.
[...]
State officials estimate that providing basic health benefits to part-time, hourly employees who work at least 30 hours a week would cost from $61 million to $110 million, if their families also are covered.

These people affected can thank President Obama. Obamacare seems to have left McDonnell no choice short of raising taxes.

Always interesting, isn't it, the cunning methods people will use to deny people access to basic health care?

RomneyMan,

And WHO should pay that additional 110 million cost to give these folks health insurance? TAXPAYERS in VA? Just raise taxes to do it?>

McDonnell just moved to the top of my 2016 like list.

We need HIS ATTITUDE in Washington to gut those agencies that are duplicating services.

BRAVO Gov McDonnell. STICK IT (Obamacare) President Obama.
