So far, I have littel to no understanding of the law, but I have not really had the presence of mind to look into it other than what I hear people say. The one thing I have found however (and please correct me if I am wrong) is that employers are now required to offer insurance benefits to anyone working more then 25 hours a week... as a result, I am finding SO MANY employers turn to a primarily p/t work force... this sucks because I could really use the benefits and the money from f/t or more hours, but no one will hire for more than 25 hours. They keep citing the new healthcare laws... is this correct? If it is, it's a part of the plan that is already back-firing.
Also, can someone briefly tell me how it requires that everyone have insurance, what the penalties are for not having any, and how it hopes to cover people who simply cannot afford yet another monthly expense? I would go to read all of this, but my distractability is high and my comprehension is low these days. Thanks in advance
