Protecting Volunteer Firefighters from Obamacare | Washington Free Beacon
The current IRS policy defines volunteer firefighters as employees for federal tax purposes.
....“Make no mistake, this wrinkle we discovered in Obamacare would not provide health insurance to the uninsured, rather it will close down fire companies and do real damage to public safety.”
The “Employer’s Shared Responsibility Provision” of the ACA requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide health insurance for those who work more than 30 hours a week.
Many volunteer firefighters, such as those in Burlington, Wash., work more than 30 hours a week.
