Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (KS-02):

“As you know, the CBO report released last week stated that the President’s health care law will cause a drop in work hours equal to the loss of 2.3 million full-time workers.

“And just when we thought the rollout of this law couldn’t get any worse, the White House decided to delay the employer mandate, again.

“This must be what a ‘year of action’ looks like.

“Our friends on the other side of the aisle are defending reduced hours for workers arguing that it will create more free time to spend with your family.

“The truth is this law is impacting the employer and even more importantly the employees who depend on those hours to support their families.

“In all the time I’ve spent talking to Kansans I’ve yet to find the mom or dad, who is struggling to makes ends meet, who thinks it would be just swell if the government instituted a policy that forced their employer to cut their wages by 25 percent so they could spend more time at home.

“People want to work. They want to control their own lives. They want to provide for their families and they need relief from this law.”
