Forever 21 Latest Victim of ObamaCare

August 19, 2013

Forever 21, the clothing retail chain with hundreds of stores across the United States, is getting flattened by the high-speed ObamaCare train wreck.

The costly regulations that the Democrats’ health law places on businesses with 50 or more full-time employees has led to a surge in part-time work. For Americans struggling to stay afloat in Obama’s economy, that’s unacceptable – and now, employees of Forever 21 are feeling the full weight of ObamaCare dragging them down.

The fashion retailer announced over the weekend that it will be limiting the hours of many of its workers to 29.5 a week – just thirty minutes below the 30-hour minimum that ObamaCare defines as “full-time work.”

From Policy Mic:

“New rules from the ACA have been set, and Forever 21 has acted accordingly and eventually so too will its competitors and others in different sectors.

“It is probable that in a perfect world, Forever 21’s management would love to continue employing full-time workers, provide them with substantial health care benefits, and maintain low prices for its customers. But in a nation with uniquely high health care costs, an issue that the Affordable Care Act fails to address, this is a regrettably unrealistic business model.”

House Republicans are united in their commitment to repealing this disastrous health care law, and are fighting to protect American families, businesses, and individuals from the costly and destructive ObamaCare regulations, rules, and red tape.
