Hillary is a statist, through and through. She is the epitome of such – ONLY Government (and those employed by it) can effect good and it MUST be in charge of all aspects of our lives. Even when it is obvious that Government has screwed up and made things worse. Instead of leaving well enough alone, learning its lesson, and let perfectly reasonable adults make their own decision, I am betting that this will turn out QUITE badly. Notice what she DOESN’T say? Emphasis mine:
On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton belatedly acknowledges that Obamacare, a.k.a. the Affordable Care Act, gave employers an enormous incentive to move their employees from full-time to part-time:
“That’s why they’re going to part-time, that and also the Affordable Care Act. You know, we’ve got to change that because we have built in some unfortunate incentives that discourage full-time employment. A lot of employers believe if you don’t work 40 hours a week, you don’t get benefits, and that includes you don’t get a health care benefit; that might include you’re not eligible for the Family and Medical Leave; you’re not eligible if they have paid sick days. So there is a disincentive within our system that we need to deal with, and I’m really worried about it because there’s a trend to try to move more and more people into part-time work.”
The whole idea to redefine what full time work was is a decision by Democrats, to define it downward to 30 hours/week, for the purposes of Obamacare. It was MEANT to make it so that companies HAD to pay for additional benefits they otherwise would not be on the hook. Democrats were quite proud of this fiat decision, never thinking that the private sector would NEVER react to it. That’s the Progressive mindset / worldview:
