More of the ACHA (AKA Obamacare) LIE



The staffing levels at the complex my wife and I are living at are shrinking.

There once was 8 maintenance people, 4 recruiters, 4 customer service personal and 2 property managers. As of last week those numbers were cut in half,WHY? the management have said because they are being taxed in advance of the rollout of OC.

I have told those that were given notice 2 weeks ago that the company is lying to them. I have reminded them that ACHA doesnt take effect fully until Jan. 2017 and that this will end there employers contributions to their healthcare plan and instead they are to get a percentage of that contribution back on their paychecks.

Also I have shared with them that company's are using these issues to influence political favor for the republican party and they shared with me that last Oct they were told they may lose their job if Obama won the 2012 election and they should not believe anything this employer or future employer says. I have given them a link to learn more about the state medicaid program that is being rolled out in January.

Sad days we live in.

Good for you for trying to swim against that tide.

It boggles the mind that people take the word of the people who are firing them.

I actually didn't expect your post to take the turn that it did, given the current tenor of DU.
