Discussions about health care often turn into discussions about jobs and the economy. The two are undeniably linked. ObamaCare--its unfunded mandates, broken policy incentives, and tax penalty structure--is exacerbating the crisis of underemployment in this country. My constituent Sandy from Winston-Salem knows this firsthand. She contacted me to share how ObamaCare is impacting adjunct professors in North Carolina community colleges. She said: Our hours have been cut because of the ``Unaffordable Health Care Act.'' This legislation is the worst thing that could have happened to the average American. Her story isn't unique. Stories abound of community colleges working to figure out how they will manage to comply with ObamaCare's costly employer mandate. For some, it means cutting part-time employee hours, which shortchanges both workers and students. Americans care about health care, and they care about jobs. ObamaCare is the wrong solution for both. ____________________
