Healthcare

If companies cut employee's work hours below 30 to avoid paying healthcare insurance the Affordable Care Act (obamacare) becomes worthless. Will (I doubt) congress do anything about this. I am reading how big companies are doing this. Grocery stores like Publix are already doing this. It hurts employees and the economy. I supported Obama on this but now this is a huge pitfall on how to avoid paying health care insurance. I am sick and disappointed.
