Thanks to this new law, i had to throw out that old refrigerator, and now I can get at my food, but my old one was white and side-by-side and the new one is black and is a freezer-on-top and it's hard for me to remember where my handles are!"

However I can understand why this person is upset at her claims. Having to deal with a change in healthcare, especially when you're already burdened with a serious illness, is upsetting. I myself was outraged before the ACA when people who were already insured were suddenly dropped for a "pre-existing" condition upon finding out they had something wrong with them. Also, not sure on Michigan laws, are there no navigators there to help? That is supposed to be their job, is to make that go smoothly as possible. Is there no family to help this woman go to the navigators and get it done? Are there no local church groups trying to ensure that everyone in their neighborhood is registered to vote AND has healthcare so that their families may have that burden eased from their mind?Thundaarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725861640875286960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754381786158219695.post-48572481158542200622014-02-10T23:05:45.495-08:002014-02-10T23:05:45.495-08:00Fox News never ceases to amaze me with the amount ...Fox News never ceases to amaze me with the amount ot total and absolute BS they trumpet. See http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Questions-and-Answers-on-Employer-Shared-Responsibility-Provisions-Under-the-Affordable-Care-Act which says:<br /><br />"34. Is additional transition relief available for employers with at least 50 but fewer than 100 full-time employees (including full-time equivalents)?<br /><br />Yes...In order to be eligible for the relief, an employer must certify that it meets the following conditions:<br /><br />(2)...During the period beginning on Febr. 9, 2014 and ending on Dec. 31, 2014, the employer may not reduce the size of its workforce or the overall hours of service of its employees in order to qualify for the transition relief. However, an employer that reduces workforce size or overall hours of service for bona fide business reasons is still eligible for the relief."<br /><br />Hire & fire at will. Nothing is stopping you. Just don't go apply to the IRS for an exemption unless you can demonstrate that it's justified.tomiiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948061969595391629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754381786158219695.post-82075003960407656172013-12-15T05:58:16.888-08:002013-12-15T05:58:16.888-08:00If Dave Agema is like the article describes him an...If Dave Agema is like the article describes him and I bet he is, I wouldn't want him for a neighbor much less a political leader.
