Obamacare mandates employers offer healthcare to people working 30 hrs a week. A lot of places will only allow you to be scheduled for less than 30 hours a week, even if you are able and willing to go full time. It's stupid, but some people have convinced themselves that it's Obamacare's fault that their employer is shitty and the subsequent governments have been unwilling to close that loophole. It's also worth mentioning that employers did this even before Obamacare because there are other things that full time employees are entitled to that part time employees aren't.
Thanks. So OOP just has a shitty boss. Got it.
OP also has a shitty mind set because he sides with the oppressor (his boss is the one denying him healthcare) and not the oppressed (everyone that can't afford healthcare).
If he understood the situation he would not call it "Obongocare"
“Obongocare” also reeks of racism, but that’s a given- it is 4chan after all.
They just work for a typical capitalist company. They're all like that.
Obamacare didn’t start that…
Employers definitely used it as an excuse to cut a lot of people's hours. It was a big deal at the time
i’ve personally had more than one job that limited our hours to under 30 because of (i thought federal) laws requiring employers to offer health insurance plans to employees who work 30 or more…
in multiple states….
well before obamacare… now get off my lawn.
No one said otherwise. The ACA bill lowered the amount of hours that qualified as full time, which lead to the shittier employers cutting hours again.
no it was already 30 hours
Your state may have had stricter standards than federal
From my comment:
one of them is health insurance
Also from my comment:

obamacare isn’t what you think it is
People often refer to the ACA as Obamacare. Obamacare did change requirements for employer provided health care, not just marketplace plans. So, prior to the ACA full time employees had certain benefits that part time employees did not. Post ACA there were changes to mandatory minimum benefits that employer healthcare packages provided. If you can articulate what the issue you are raising is, that would be helpful.
you know what? your reading comprehension is on you.
