Education Unions Discover “What’s in It, Beyond the Fog of the Controversy”

Posted by Tina

Obamacare has become a nightmare for small businesses that fear the added expense will drive them to cut employees or employee hours or to the more extreme, completely out of business. Doctors have also expressed being discouraged by the many regulations and costs that will affect how they practice. Many say they will retire early. We can add educators to the growing numbers in disgruntled group.

The American Thinker had the story back in January:

Far too many teachers are uniformly uninquisitive. And, sadly, their vote for Obama is coming back to bite them as the consequences of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) are finally dawning on many of them.

When ObamaCare finally goes into effect in January 2014, if an employer does not supply health care to employees working 30 hours or more a week, the employer will have to pay a penalty.
Logic would dictate that an employer will not pay a penalty if there is an alternative. Ergo, colleges and universities across the country are now cutting back on the number of credits that adjunct instructors can teach per semester. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), a big-time supporter of Obama, basically sold its members a bill of goods.

I wonder how long it will take for the sheer ugly weight of the debacle known as Obamacare to finally crush its supporter’s hopes for this awful change. This surely is the most egregious example ever that not all change is good! I wish we could say Obamacare was just an April fools joke, Kings X, and see it disappear by tomorrow. But it won’t. The American people need real reforms in the healthcare industry to bring costs down; fairy tales and empty promises aren’t getting the job done.
