Health Freedom Minute December 27, 2012
Sandwich Surcharges and Cut Hours Will you lose your job? Obamacare requires employers with more than 50 full-time workers to have insurance for employees or pay a penalty of $2000 per employee. The penalty can be avoided by having fewer than 50 employees or by cutting employee hours to less than full-time. Under Obamacare fulltime is 30 hours or more. Jimmy Johns says the mandate will cost 50 cents a sandwich so workersʼ hours may have to be cut. Dennyʼs restaurants may add an Obamacare surcharge to the menu. Under the law, everyone must buy health insurance or pay a tax, but how will you do that with less money or without a job? “Morning Bell: Businesses Cutting Hours, Bracing for Costs of Obamacare.” Amy Payne, The Foundry (Heritage Foundation), December 6, 2012.
