VA Gov Bob McDonnell's message to Obama and Obamacare....Up Yours!

About 10,000 Virginia public employees are poised to see their hours cut back as Gov. Bob McDonnell continues to find ways around what he said were President Obama's costly health care reforms. 
Both the Virginia House and Senate passed budget amendments that will cap part-time state workers at 29 hours a week to avoid complying with a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that requires businesses and governments to offer health insurance to any wage employee that averages 30 hours a week. A final budget compromise will come next week and is likely to contain the language. 
By ensuring no employees reach that threshold, the state estimates it will save $110 million a year that otherwise would have gone to provide benefits to workers and their families starting next year...

Again, it is always nice to see caring folk pulling out all the stops to preclude elementary health care, and simultaneously reducing their hours, ensuring that they most likely can't afford a 1/2 decent private plan either.They may be even more happier if the reduced hours folks then struggle to pay for their homes and have enough to buy the family's food. You gotta love the ole' Christian spirit.

RomneyMan,

They were hired as part-time WITHOUT health care benefits. Obama changed their status not McDonnell. Why the hell should VA tax payers be burdened with the additional expense that Obamacare FORCED on them?

They didn't get healthcare from the state before Obamacare, it's still the case.

Good for McDonnell and the VA tax payers.

Communists! Old world order!! Jefferson and our founding fathers knew government charity was a trap that created tyrants and subjugation. They did everything they could to demonstrate and teach that charity is NOT the role of government. It is up to The People to chose leaders who protect our Law. Obama doesn't.

Pelosi: we have to pass the law so we can read it. That is tyranny.
