LOL at being diagnosed as obese.
seems to be a pretty self evident condition.
I can see it now..."What the , Doc! You mean I'm fat? I didn't know that!"
everything I've seen is that it's not at all clear how the 50 employee or 30 hour/week thresholds will play out, except to the right-winger, Repugs who LIE non-stop to sabotage ACA.
I'm extremely gratified that CC is so deeply, sincerely concerned that low-wage part timers, aka moochers/takers/47%ers/public assistance cheaters might get hurt.
He thinks Obamacare must be destroyed to protect these poor souls.
I'm a realist.
Obamacare is here to stay. It's bad policy and bad law but we are gonna have to learn to live with it.
I'm just telling you that there are going to be a lot of unintended negative consequences and part timers getting their hours cut to under 30 is just one of them. The new norm will be people holding 2 long term part time jobs to make ends meet.
Damn. Check out these numbers. More than three out of four jobs created this year so far are part time jobs.

4 Reasons Why Millions Of Americans Are Leaving The Workforce

Part-Time Workers Say Schedules Are Getting More Erratic
For many workers, hours are not only short, but increasingly erratic as managers scramble to cover shifts without the steadying influence of experienced full-time employees.
"It's ridiculous," says Amere Graham, an 18-year-old high school graduate who works at a McDonald's in Milwaukee. "My schedule is all over the place. It's completely unpredictable."
Government data support Graham's impressions of workplace conditions. The ranks of people working part time because they can't find full-time jobs have roughly doubled since the summer of 2007, from about 4.3 million to 8.2 million.
"There has been a surge in part-time work," says Aparna Mathur, an economist at the American Enterprise Ins ute.
The change reflects business owners' reluctance to hire full-time workers while they still have so many worries about the strength of the recovery and the cost of the Affordable Care Act, Mathur says. "You want to maintain flexibility so you can respond to the economy" without having to carry the costs of hiring and firing full-time employees, she says.
In a study of retail working conditions, conducted in the fall of 2011 in New York, only 17 percent of retail workers said they have a set schedule.

For millennials, leaving the nest is hard to do
Despite an improving economy, it's getting tougher than ever for young adults to get a decent-paying job, move out and start supporting a family.
Employment hasn't rebounded among Americans ages 18 to 31, the generation generally known as millennials. Marriage also has been pushed off. And what jobs are available often are lower-paying retail, fast-food and other service jobs.
"When my parents were my age, they had their own place already, and they came from Mexico," said Patricia Guerra, 24, who lives with her parents in Ontario.
"I'm a U.S. citizen with a college degree — and it's really hard for me to achieve that for myself at this point," she said.
As the Federal Reserve considers weaning the nation from financial life support, a new study released Thursday by Pew Research Center shows that the number of young adults living with their parents in 2012 rose to a record 36%.
Last year, 21.6 million millennials lived in their parents' homes, Pew found, up from 18.5 million in 2007, the start of the Great Recession.
The numbers reflect the unsteady reality of millennials today.
