House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi famously said of Obamacare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it.”
Nearly three years later, many Americans are beginning to discover what’s in it.
Taco Bell employees in Oklahoma City, Okla., found out.
Wendy’s employees in Obama, Neb., found out.
And now many other low-wage workers (and their relatives) are finding out, too.
Thank you Obamacare for cutting my hours and fucking up the system. #pissoff

@KateRogersNews "In and Out" fast food chain is reducing hours. Full time is now less than 28 hrs/wk.

@lindzka What's not awesome about it: I cut all my part timers below 28 hours/week.
But I'm glad there are parts that benefit my friends.

Sooo. Now if we're part time we can't have more than 28 hours a week… Reallllly hoping I get that job at the hospital. ?

Because of "ObamaCare" part time employees can only get a maximum of 28 hours per week.. My employer starts with this rule tomorrow…

if my bosses answer to why my hours were cut by 28 isn't good enough, I'm dragging my sack across his desk and leaving.

Like, 28 hours isn't enough… I'll need to get another part-time job to just pay my bills

So work may be cutting down my hours from 48 to 28 essentially I'll be working part time. Please Christ don't let this happen.

A man I know..works at regional chain of "dairy stores"…told me his hours have been cut from 40 to 28 due to Obamacare. He's very MAD.

Well, maybe there’s one silver lining:
If all these restaurant owners keep cutting hours to circumvent "ObamaCare," I should be at my goal weight in no time.
