Quote:It wasn't the Walmarts* that were cutting hours. Many of the larger employers were given waivers, depending on how much they contributed to Obama's campaign.
Small businesses didn't get waivers. The ACA just created another layer of corruption.

*I'm not sure about Walmart specifically. McDonalds got a waiver, and there were many others.

I'd wager those waivers were given because they threatened to cut hours. Is it 50 employees the ACA considers small? I'm an opponent of most things that impact small businesses and since I'm not an owner I dont claim to know what its like to be one. Anecdotally I do know I've worked for three different engineering/architecture firms of varying success and they all offered insurance. My newest one I'm moving into next week has been open for 10 years and has always covered 100% of insurance. Its hard to wrap my mind around a business not being able to do it. I'm sure there are plenty that can't for whatever reason though.
