Senators slam White House threat to veto $53B Obamacare hours fix

The Washington Times reports:

Senators from each party rebuked President Obama on Wednesday for threatening to veto their bill to change Obamacare’s definition of full-time work from 30 hours per week to 40, saying a potential pay cut to struggling American workers outweighs his concerns about increasing deficits or that fewer people would get job-based health insurance.

Legislation by Sens. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, and Joe Donnelly, Indiana Democrat, seeks to undo part of Obamacare’s “employer mandate,” which requires requires larger businesses to provide health insurance for full-time employees — defined as those working at least 30 hours a week — or else pay heavy fines.

Obama's haunting fear that business don't like his mandates and will hire people to work 39 hours a week.
