Resort Will Shuffle Staff For ACA

With 2013 being used as the “test” year to determine one’s obligations once the 2014 implementation of the Affordable Care Act – popularly known as “Obamacare” – rolls around, the Town of Ocean City will likely be doing some major re-shuffling of staff this coming season to avoid adding some employees to its health care plan.

“We are really having to get very creative as to how to estimate additional staff this summer, and what it may come down to is having twice as many part-time personnel as we used to,” said Ocean City Fire Department Chief Chris Larmore, whose department will likely be one of the most heavily affected.

“There is an immense amount of time currently going into figuring that out.”

Simple. All full time employes will be reduced to 29&1/2 hours, and their pay will be cut. Then the town will have money to pay other part time employes. And these idiots will still go out next year and vote for Democrats. Also remember that most part time employes do not receive benefits, therefore, the town can save even more money.

Don't forget that the foreign workers do NOT require their employers to pay the Unemployment Tax. Pretty sweet!
