On an ABC news break on the radio I heard that Obama has decreed (my word) that it is unlawful for businesses to hire or fire based on the obamacare mandate. Under threat from the IRS.
Is this accurate? This has to be highly illegal if so. Also if true I guess we can expect employees laid off to start suing on these grounds? Who the fuck is Obama to tell PRIVATE industry how to structure their businesses?
It is entirely accurate. If an employer wants to lay off or fire someone that employer has to meet IRS criteria and swear under penalty of perjury that the action was not financially necessary.
only IF they continue to accept the subsidies.
It is not as cut and dry as you seem to believe.
That's why it's wise to never take money from the government. They own your ass afterwords.
