But they opt to cut school workers' hours instead.

"In the past, we've told you about the new federal healthcare law and how small business and local governments have been hit," said the anchor. "The next area affected by the law could be education."

The reporter adds, "The affordable care act has had its proponents as much as it's had its opponents. In the last few months we've heard different stories from private and government employers on the cuts, they've had to make. However, in Vigo county some of those cuts will come at the cost of education."

"So what we had to do the other evening at the board meeting was to cut worker's hours to below 30 because we cannot afford to offer health care to every employee," says the superintendent

It would cost $6 million a year to provide health care to every employee who works more than 30 hours, says the superintendent.

This is what we conservatives have said would be happening all along, and the liberals have accused us of racism, and/or ignorance of the law every time.

I wonder where the political liberals on this site are now? Why aren't they down here accusing this school district of ignorance and/or racism?

My niece and her family have been cancelled by their long term insurance carrier. So far everything else is far above what they currently paid.They have always paid their own way and of course both her and her husband works so they do not qualify for subsidies.

Our insurance carrier gave me a call yesterday to inform me that there isn't anything I need do for my insurance except pay a higher premium due to the new mandates. What a relief that I am covered for pregnancy and drug addiction.But I will get free membership to silver sneakers.
