That's okay, they'll nail "big business" with fines- WHAT?! Big Business is exempt for a YEAR?! AND they're lowering hours of full timers to less than 30 hours?! OBAMA considers 30 hours FULL TIME?!

The cause of the slowdown is the Obama administration and Dusty Harry Reid, (whose home state of NEVADA is participating in Obama care- WAIT?! It's NOT?!) who would rather talk to terrorists in Iran, or KGB men like PUTIN, than senators. Wait a minute, wasn't Putin a Russian during the height of COMMUNISM. What strange bedfellows.

The worst thing about the slowdown, during which the IRS is still collecting $250B monthly, and our bills are only $18B monthly, is that it's taken the focus off OBAMACARE. If this were a FETUS, DEMOCRATS would've aborted it long ago.
Another woefully uninformed person. I'll clarify what I can...
Here's what I think he/she is referring to about the labor unions: Unions Unhappy with the PPACA
The article explains the issue better than I could here.
Senators have always been out. They have access to the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. This is nothing new.
26 states opted out of the Medicaid funding offered by the Federal Government intended to offset costs associated with the PPACA. Here's a list of the states: Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Not surprisingly, premiums for people living in those states are higher under the PPACA than for those who did not turn down the free money.
Fines for "big business." Actually, the fines are abated for ALL businesses. And this is going to help small businesses far more than the big ones.
30 hours defines a full-time worker for purposes of businesses offering benefits. This threshold has been true for a long time. It was lowered from 40 to 30 hours so that employers would be required to offer full-time benefits to more of their workers, long before the PPACA was even proposed. I don't recall in exactly which year the threshold was lowered, but it was several years ago.
The rest of it is just echo chamber drivel. Well, all of it is echo chamber drivel... about 25% truth, the rest just willfully misleading.
Hope this helps.
