The new CBO report projects that some workers who obtain health insurance under Obamacare will scale back their hours because they no longer will have to rely on their employers for coverage.
And some workers, the report said, will reduce their hours so they can qualify for the subsidies provided under Obamacare to help those with lower incomes buy coverage..

Nonpartisan group finds Obamacare will shrink workforce by 2.3 million full-time jobs - NY Daily News

No, it is not greedy companies cutting back hours. It is lazy workers that realize they they can work and earn less yet get subidized more. That must be a great benefit to the nation.

ACA has taken us further down the proverbial slippery slope.

That many people worked full time only due to health insurance ?
I wouldn't scale back my hours; instead I'd save more. Isn't that common sense ?
It's like if you got a raise. Do Americans scale back their hours when they get raises ?

Shows that America seems to be losing their work ethic if they are only working until someone else provides for them.

The worse part is government encourages / enables this behavior so it may control them.

I am a generous person. I give a decent portion of my GI to Charity, I do not however have any sympathy for those who choose to work less because Government hands them freebies on my back. They are theives.

Unfortunately many people are takers. This CBO report is solid evidence backing Romney's 47% assertion.

But it's a total 360 turn from the current cries of "Where are the jobs" and "Raise minimum wage" isn't it ?

The county is so divided and divergent that the issues are at odds with the government and with reality.

Does this mean the CBO "hates" 47% of the country? Because that's what leftists and Obamabots told us about Romney.

Yes, it is a complete contradiction.
The Big Government proponents have no clue what to argue anymore.
