I think this 29 hour per week loophole was supposed to be fixed in the ACA but it was one of the things that got left on the negotiating table.
- ssmoot 12y agoIsn't it fixed though? I thought that was the whole point of the insurance subsidies. You should be able to get healthcare (possibly even better healthcare), even if your employer doesn't provide it. I thought.
- viggity 12y agowhat negotiating table? The dems didn't need (or get) any republican support. The whole thing was done behind closed doors "we need to pass it so you can see what is in it". All from the "most transparent" administration in history.
