Wegmans Ends Health Care Benefits for Part-Time Workers Thanks to Obamacare

Wegmans, the Rochester, NY based grocer that has previously  providing health insurance to its part-time workers will no longer offer that benefit, thanks to Obamacare.  Under the Affordable Care Act, part-time employees are not eligible for health insurance subsidies if their employer offers insurance. Wegmans employs roughly 1,433 full-time employees and 4,304 part-time employees in the Buffalo Niagara region. America was warned that this would happen and no one wanted to listen. Instead they wanted to call those folks alarmists. From the outset Obamacare has been a misrepresentation of the plan and now Americans are learning it the hard way.

The Rochester-based grocer that has been continually lauded for providing health insurance to its part-time workers will no longer offer that benefit.

Until recently, the company voluntarily offered health insurance to employees who worked 20 hours per week or more. Companies are required by law to offer health insurance only to full-time employees who work 30 hours or more per week.

Several Wegmans employees confirmed part-time health benefits had been cut and said the company said the decision was related to changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act.

However, part-time employees may actually benefit from Wegmans’ decision, according to Brian Murphy, a partner at Lawley Benefits Group, an insurance brokerage firm in Buffalo.

Michelle Malkin reminds us … Remember when President Barack Obama said to the American people when trying to sell Oabamcare as a good thing and stated, one of the three tenants of Obamacare was that if you like your present insurance you can keep it? Guess what America, HE LIED!!! He stated that if you like your current insurance, you can keep your current insurance. LIES. LIES, AND MORE LIES.  This was all part of the ultimate goal of destroying the insrance industry and creating a single payer system.

The Daily Caller calls Obamacare for what it is. Obamacare is a disaster and and it is owned by Barack Hussein Obama.

No, call it what it is: Obamacare.

They don’t want to call it that, as disaster looms, but that’s what it is. It’s called Obamacare. He owns this. It’s not Wegmans’ fault, or the fault of any of the other businesses that are going to suffer. This is all on Obama. And the worse it gets, the more the press will try to cover for him.

Poll: Good Grief, Only 12% Support Implementing Barack Obama’s Obamacare’s Individual Mandate

Will the individual mandate be the next part of Obamacare to be delayed until 2015?

According to The Hill, a poll from HealthPocket shows that a pathetic 12% of Americans support the Obamacare “individual” mandate that forced all individuals to have health care or face a fine. That is correct … 12%!!!  Next year, Obamacare will make individuals, courtesy of the IRS, without coverage will pay $95 or 1% of their annual income. The fine will increase to $695 or 2.5% of annual income, whichever is highest, over time. Just last week the Obama administration stated that they would delay the employer mandate until 2015. As per the Washington Free Beacon, Congressional leaders sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Tuesday asking for more information on the delays and they also requested that he delay the implementation of the individual mandate as well.

A new survey finds only 12 percent of respondents support implementing ObamaCare’s individual mandate, which fines consumers who don’t acquire health insurance, in 2014 as prescribed by law.

Forty-one percent said consumers shouldn’t have to pay a penalty if they don’t have insurance, according to the poll from HealthPocket, a consumer resource on health insurance.

A plurality, 47 percent, said they were not sure if the fines should take effect as scheduled.

The poll’s findings follow the Obama administration’s recent announcement that it will not require larger businesses to offer healthcare coverage until 2015, delaying a key provision in the president’s signature domestic legislation.

As of now, individuals will still be required to carry health insurance starting next year or pay a fine.

Weasel Zippers puts this  in to perspective to show just how bad the support of the individual mandate really is, even Congress has a higher approval rating at 16%.

Charles Krauthammer Rips Barack Obama, The Bystander in Chief … On Egypt, ‘Obama the Bystander Again’ … People Trying to Bring Down and Islamist Govt and Obama Remains Neutral

What a difference a revolution makes. Why did President Barack Hussein Obama support the over throw of Egyptian President Mubarak; however, Obama remains neutral against the anti-American, Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi? Why is Obama not standing on the side of the people this time? Good grief, Morsi is hardly representing Democracy.

Charles Krauthammer shreds Barack Obama as the “bystander” in Chief :

As he did during Iran’s Green Revolution, President Obama is letting slip an opportunity to dislodge an Islamist regime that will oppose our interests in the Middle East and which ultimately seeks our destruction.

Speaking today in Tanzania, Obama suggested that because Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was elected democratically, the United States needs to sit on the sidelines as Egyptians take to the streets to try to save themselves from Islamism.

As Krauthammer notes, Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are not democrats, and they have not acted democratically during their year in office. To say one must be neutral in a battle that could remove the Muslim Brotherhood because one is committed to democracy is to caricature democracy.

President Obama pledged $7 billion in aid to Africa and Then Warned Africans to be Wary of Exploitation by Other Countries, Including the United States

What the hell is wrong with this president, Why does he hate the United States so much?

During President Barack Obama $100 million trip to Africa, Barack Obama pledged $7 billion in aid Sunday to provide electricity to sub-Saharan Africa. Then Obama warned Africans to be wary of exploitation by other countries, including the United States. Of course he did. Obama is the president of the United States, right? His job is to do things in the best interest of the United States, right? Just checking. Take a good look at all of the exploitation of the continent of Africa over the years,

The United States will extend a hand of friendship but don’t trust us

President Obama pledged $7 billion in aid Sunday to provide electricity to sub-Saharan Africa, as he warned Africans to be wary of exploitation by other countries, including the United States.

“I’m calling for America to up our game when it comes to Africa,” Mr. Obama said in a speech at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, midway through his week long tour of the continent. “We want to unleash the power of entrepreneurship and markets to create opportunity here in Africa.”

Funds from the electricity initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years to six countries — Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania. Mr. Obama said the U.S. wants to help Africa without interfering, as colonial powers did in the past.

“You will always find the extended hand of a friend in the United States of America,” he said.

But on his three-nation tour, the president also has been warning Africans not to automatically trust foreign powers offering help, including the U.S.

Maybe Barack Obama should have warned Americans to be wary of the Obama administration and don’t trust them? And what even might be even more comical is that Obama was giving Africa advice on jobs. REALLY? This president has some set. You mean when Obama gave away tax payer $’s to “green” energy boondoggles he cared whether the jobs would be in the United States and would benefit America? You mean like the jobs that went to China?

“When we look at what other countries are doing in Africa, I think our only advice is make sure it’s a good deal for Africa,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Johannesburg. “If somebody says they want to come build something here, are they hiring African workers? If somebody says that they want to help you develop your natural resources, how much of the money is staying in Africa? … Don’t just assume that folks come here and they’re automatically benefiting Africans. And that includes the United States. Ask questions in terms of what we do.”

Barack Obama Compares Nelson Mandela To America’s First President George Washington, Who Knew the Father of Our Country was an America-bashing Communist?

As Barack Obama was on his $100 million vacation in South Africa, Obama compared former South African President Nelson Mandela to America’s first President George Washington. Hmm. I realize that Obama is trying to say something nice about a dying man, but to compare to George Washington, really? I guess the president just over looks that little fact that Mandela is a Communist. I do not remember George Washington being one. But then again, in Obama’s world, who knows. And then there was that little thing of Mandela bashing America. But I guess when Obama feels the need to apologize for America all the time, maybe he relates? Once again, Obama lives up to his moniker, “Divider in Chief” and a community agitator. Via ABC News, via Free Republic:

Although President Obama will not get a chance to see Nelson Mandela on his trip to South Africa, he is using his historic visit to pay tribute to the man he calls a hero to the world and will meet today with the Mandela family.

At a joint press conference with South African President Jacob Zuma this morning, President Obama spoke extensively about Mandela’s legacy.

“Our thoughts and those of Americans and people all around the world are with Nelson Mandela and his family and all of South Africans,” Obama said. “The struggle here for freedom, Madiba’s moral courage, this country’s historic transition to a free nation has been a personal inspiration to me, an inspiration to the world, and it continues to be.”

“Mandela shows what was possible when a priority is placed on human dignity, respect for law, that all people are treated equally,” Obama said.

“And what Nelson Mandela also stood for is that the well-being of the country is more important than the interests of any one person,” Obama continued. “George Washington is admired because after two terms he said enough, I’m going back to being a citizen. There were no term limits, but he said I’m a citizen. I served my time. And it’s time for the next person, because that’s what democracy is about. And Mandela similarly was able to recognize that, despite how revered he was, that part of this transition process was greater than one person.”

Or as Weasel Zippers opines, “Except for the fact that Mandela is an America-bashing Communist who once said, “If there is a country in the world that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.”
