Clinton: ObamaCare pushing some people into part-time jobs
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said President Obama's healthcare is pushing some people into part-time positions.
Well thats why theyre going to part-time, that and also the Affordable Care Act, Clinton said in Iowa while fielding a question about discrimination against workers under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), according to the Washington Free Beacon.
You know, weve got to change that, because we have built in some unfortunate incentives that discourage full-time employment, she added.
Clinton did not say how she would remedy the issue, but said she wants to look at all the employment rules.
I really worry about it because there is a trend to try and move more and more people into part-time work, Clinton said. And sometimes you want to work part-time, it fits into your family, it fits into your life obligations, but sometimes you want to work full-time but you cant get a full-time job. So I want to look at all the employment rules.

(26,549 posts)suddenly vote to improve it? You'd have to offer them something really, really, really massive for that kind of about-face.

(26,549 posts)Perhaps we should offer candidates they like so that they return to the polls, instead of attempting to out-Republican the Republicans.

(26,549 posts)and so would try to appeal to the largest blocs of voters they could find. Turns out, that isn't the case. There's a lot of Ned Lamonts and Bill Halters among our party's less-publicized races.
Again, it's the candidate's job to win voters. Candidates are not entitled to votes, they have to earn votes.

(11,546 posts)It's gotten worse in the past 10 years but that's the economy and the demand for jobs as well as GREED. It's an "employers market" and they can afford to be selective with how many hours they portion out per employee.
Obamacare? Meh...it's an excuse used by employers but this is not new for them to do.

Do you support fixing the ACA to prevent this from happening, or not?
