Obama Economy: 200 ObamaCare Call Center Jobs Created in
Concord—50% are Part Time
This story tells all you
need to know about the Obama Economy. Thanks to ObamaCare, twice the number of
part time jobs are created than full time—with full time people pushed toward
poverty by being cut back to part time. Why? Because the heavy costs of ObamaCare
means employers either fire people or cut their hours. To promote this high cost program to young people—and very low quality care—government is setting up “call centers”. One is being opened in Contra Costa County—the Feds will report 200 new jobs created—without noting that half of those jobs are only part time—why? THEY can not afford ObamaCare either.
Fraud by government. Shocked, I say, shocked.
“One recent hire, who last week learned the job would be part-time, said the new “intermittent” employees feel like they’ve been used as a political tool, and many now regret applying for the positions.
“What’s really ironic is working for a call center and trying to help people get health care, but we can’t afford it ourselves,” said the worker, who asked for anonymity out of fear of losing the job. The county says it had been telling the public and supervisors all along that some positions would be full-time and some part-time. However, portions of staff reports list all 204 jobs as full-time, and a job posting said the same.”
It’s the latest controversy involving the call center, one of three created statewide to help citizens enroll in various new health care options under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act when it goes live at the start of next year.
Contra Costa was selected early on by the state to run the call center, but the deal mandated the county run the operation itself, with state funding, or lose it to another county. Once Contra Costa secured the call center, Concord and Richmond battled for the right to host it. Unions nearly derailed the project before some last-minute wrangling to ensure workers weren’t transferred needlessly and would receive appropriate benefits.
