Obamacare officially is called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act[2]. But how can it “protect” you and provide “affordable care” when your hours were cut below the 30 hours per week needed to be part of the Soviet program?

Jobs already are being hit[3]:

“The nation’s largest movie theater chain has cut the hours of thousands of employees, saying in a company memo that ObamaCare requirements are to blame.

“Regal Entertainment Group, which operates more than 500 theaters in 38 states, last month rolled back shifts for non-salaried workers to 30 hours per week, putting them under the threshold at which employers are required to provide health insurance. The Nashville-based company said in a letter to managers that the move was a direct result of ObamaCare.”

Regal bought Edwards Theaters in Southern California around a decade ago, so it’s going to hit thousands of California jobs.

A Regal memo read:

“In addition, some managers have requested guidance on what they should tell those employees negatively impacted and, at your discretion, we suggest the following. To comply with the Affordable Care Act, Regal had to increase our health care budget to cover those newly deemed eligible based on the law’s definition of a full-time employee.”

Here’s what the managers should tell their employees:

“Not just Democrats President Obama and Nancy Pelosi, who mainly crafted Obamcare when she was House Speaker in 201[4]0 — but Republicans such as George W. Bush[5] and Mitt Romney[6] have imposed on America a socialized medical system. That means worse or no care for more and more people every year. Obamacare-Pelosicare-Bushcare-Romneycare[7] has the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service with the beside manner of the DMV.“
