Changing Obamacare to Save the Jobs of Millions

1/8/15

Today, Congressman Doug Lamborn cosponsored and voted in favor of H.R. 30, the Save American Workers Act. This bill makes the definition of a full-time employee one who completes 40 hours of work per week. The employer mandate of Obamacare had made the definition of a full-time employee someone who completes 30 hours of work per week. 

"The House is taking another important step in dismantling Obamacare. The employer mandate attempts to micromanage the employment practices of America's job creators and places the job security of millions of Americans at risk. The Save American Workers Act will help solidify over two million jobs in this country, including many workers who earn a median income under $30,000 a year and do not have a college degree. We will continue to stand with the workers and employers of America in pushing back against harmful legislation from the Obama Administration."
