Before any company buys health insurance for its employees, the insurance company asks for how many full time employees. Most insurance companies set that at 30 years. If it is not covered in the law that you posted, it must be in the law the covers employer insurance.
There will be no employees in the United States by the time obama gets done with us anyway, so this will be a moot point.

Full time is over 30 hours per week
Companies already hire more part time workers so they don’t have to provide benefits.
Lets not forget the many companies that are Obama campaign donors who are exempt from Obama-care.
So, essentially you’re claiming that nothing will change. Fair enough.
But yes, when some company tries to skirt around their legal requirement by citing this loophole, the DOL will have to issue a legal definition of "full time employment".
Part time employment hours are outlined by State law in many cases. Obama campaigned on raising the minimum wage to over $9 per hour but, only for full time workers. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not cover Part Time employment.
Yes. I think that you will find it is already in the bill.
I am always amazed how many Americans seem not to be aware about the real healthcare issues relying instead on FOX and other sources to spread lies about the healthcare system of the USA and those abroad. I mean, if healthcare in nations with universal coverage is so bad, why do they keep it?
Obama wants to make insurance more available to all and change the system so that it gives the American people value for money [1]. He also wants change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Taiwan where private companies are involved in providing healthcare [2].
Obama campaigned on reforming the healthcare system. He said he wanted to make insurance more available and he was elected to do this [3].
FACT – the US has higher death rates for kids both for kids aged under one and those under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [4].
FACT – American insurance companies pushed up prices and worked to stop paying out claims on those they covered before the reforms came in [5].
FACT – the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [6].
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in any western nation with universal health coverage.
If you do not like the policies that Obama was elected to bring in, he can always be voted out of office in 2012. But if you disagree with the facts, please let me know. I am always willing to learn, but please provide proof. None of those who disagree with me have been able to do that so far.
