School’s Out: ObamaCare’s Job-Crushing Mandate Strikes Again

June 13, 2013

The Hill reported this week that a number of school districts in Indiana are cutting their employee’s hours – all thanks to ObamaCare.

Teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and aides are all in danger of facing reduced hours and less pay thanks to the law’s employer mandate. The mandate, which requires employers provide healthcare coverage for employees who work more than 30 hours a week, is proving to be a constant headache for business owners and employers across the country.

Sad teacher

In response to the school districts’ frustrations, Members of the Indiana delegation sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius expressing their disappointment and frustrations with the job-crushing law.

“Secretary Sebelius, as a former Governor, we are sure you can appreciate the difficult choices being made in the heartland to deal with decisions handed down from Washington, D.C.,” they wrote. “Hundreds of middle class Hoosiers working in schools will now suffer the consequences of a law you told the American people would serve as a solution to making health care affordable for the middle class.”

So far, the Affordable Care Act has proved to be anything but affordable for millions of hard-working families across the country. These teachers and school employees are just the latest to suffer due to the overreaching, job-destroying, billion-dollar law.
