Florida county cutting some part-timers' hours because of ObamaCare

ObamaCare, the job-killing machine, continues to create havoc.

From Florida Today:

Some part-time Brevard County workers are getting their hours cut so the county would not be forced by federal law to pay for their health insurance.

The affected workers currently do not get county-provided health insurance. But they would in 2015 — if they worked an average of at least 30 hours a week — under a provision of federal health care reform commonly known as "Obamacare."

Brevard County human resources officials recently informed county department heads about the new rules and the potential impact on their budgets, and department heads are formulating responses.

Brevard County Insurance Director Jerry Visco said every employee added to the county’s health insurance program could cost the county about $10,000 a year, and “that money is not there” in the county budget.
