Hillary says Obamacare results in part time work

I am really tempted to post this in GD-P....I chose not too because it would start a riot. This is from a campaign rally in December.

This is sickening. As you can see this is the sort of thing the GOP will be hammering her with should she be the nominee in a general election. Unf!

It's really more of a question of what solution she may be proposing.

I still think single-payer is the best plan, but this particular problem could be solved otherwise.

Employers could be required to pay in for part-time employees in proportion to their hours. If an employee works 50% of full time, the employer would pay half - 75%, they would pay 3/4, etc.

I don't know what sort of solution Clinton has. It may be nothing like that.
