When the President spoke to Kansas University students today, he left out a few things. Kansas press recently reported that the 30 work week rule in Obamacare has forced KU to cut hours of student employees of the school. The President has already announced that he would veto legislation to help restore hours, and therefore wages, for these hardworking students. I didnt hear anything about that in the speech today. Perhaps the President’s trip today will allow him to hear firsthand about the effects his policy is having on Kansans. This morning, I participated in a Health Committee Hearing opposing the 30-hour work week rule.The rule is clearly one of the more harmful provisions of Obamacare for many of our workers and I hope the President will revisit his refusal to address it.
