Sen. Alexander today cosponsored bipartisan legislation introduced by Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) to change the Obamacare definition of “full time” work from 30 hours per week to 40 hours per week. This Obamacare provision has forced employers to cut their workers’ hours or reduce hiring in order to escape the health care law’s mandate and its unaffordable penalties. Alexander said, “I’m glad to cosponsor this bipartisan legislation offered by Sens. Collins and Donnelly to overturn this damaging Obamacare provision and give a pay raise to more than 2.5 million low-income workers and their families. I intend to hold our first committee hearing on health and labor this Congress to look at how this provision has made it harder for so many Americans to make a living—as we work toward undoing the damage Obamacare has done and preventing future damage from this historic mistake of a law.” Read more HERE: help.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/?id=7950b480-1bb3-4581-8ca4-51217c8660f4&groups=Ranking
