"How the Health Care Law Harms Fast Food Workers"

JCN - Information Station:
"How the Health Care Law Harms Fast Food Workers
The new health care law requires that every business with 50 or more “full time” employees offer health insurance to the full timers or pay a $2,000 fine per employee.
The fine applies to all but the first 30 full time employees.
The law defines “full time” as any employee working 30 or more hours per week.
These rules will cost the fast food chain owner $400,000 per year if he does nothing.
So instead, he is cutting back hours of employees so they don’t reach the 30 hour weekly limit.
Otherwise, he cannot afford to stay in business.
This health care law was sold as a reform to help workers. 
Instead, it is forcing employers to hurt workers."
