IRS Warns Employers: Do
Not Try to Avoid ObamaCare
Insurance Mandate

Cybercast News Service, by Matt Cover

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/10/2013 10:10:00 AM

The Internal Revenue Service warned employers in a new regulatory proposal not to come up with clever schemes to avoid Obamacare’s employer health insurance mandate. The IRS said it would soon issue “anti-abuse rules” to discourage employers from taking advantage of any regulatory loopholes. “The Treasury Department and the IRS are aware of various structures being considered under which employers might use temporary staffing agencies (or other staffing agencies)… to evade application of section 4980H [the employer insurance mandate],” the IRS said in a proposed regulatory announcement issued December 28.

Comments:
Nothing like ruling by threat and intimidation. Welcome to the world of 0bama.

Good Grief! And, they are still writing the rules. Soo, pretty soon we will have full employment; but, it will all be under 5 hours a day. I´m sure the IRS will figure out a way to write that one out too.

This part of the Declaration of Independance needs to resound through out country and its citizens daily and be repeated to our representatives as a warning

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government

Temporary employment agencies have flourished, in part, because employers need a buffer against discriminatory hiring claims. The temporary agency bears the burden if claims occur.
The kenyacare regulations will simply cause more and more temps to pop up.

I have a customer with 240 employees in 5 business locations, a small chain I guess you´d call it. He is probably going to close 4 and keep the last one under 50 employees because Zerocare is going to eat ALL the profit that he is in business to make for himself.

That´s a net job loss of 190+ employees, to say nothing of the effect on the individual employees who will not have jobs anymore.

You cannot let democrats run anything. They are destroyers, always have been, always will be. Zerobama is a communist, folks, no two ways about it. Plus, he hates white people and America. But mostly he´s just a tool for whoever is running the show, also communists.

FTA: If any of those employees receives government health insurance subsidies, the IRS will fine the employer up to $2,000 per employee, according to a formula outlined by the IRS.

The subsidies can only be received by law if the State has set up the insurance exchange. So red state that refuse to set up insurance exchange by law are exempted. Buy your popcorn, this is going to be fun to watch.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
