Poll: Majority Support Changing ACA’s Definition of Full Time Work

The Hill (1/14, Ferris) reports that just “20 percent of Americans believe that employees clocking in 30 hours a week qualify as full-time, giving weight to the GOP argument to raise the government’s threshold for full-time work under ObamaCare.” A majority of Americans say they are in “total support” of the GOP position that employers should only have to provide health coverage for employees working 40 or more hours a week, according to a poll released Tuesday by Morning Consult. The Hill notes that legislation to define full-time as 40 hours per week cleared the House last week, “largely along party lines.”
