Thank you President Obama!
Let me explain. I work as freelance consultant and companies hire to work in-house anywhere from a few weeks to several months. I operate no differently than a permanent employee. I just get no benefits or holidays or vacation. This week I start my first freelance job since Obamacare went into effect and guess what? They have to give me healthcare because I'm working more than 30 hours a week. This is really great.
Again thank you President Obama!
