    Because companies are penalizes for hiring retired workers, if it's true. The link says the law is over 2,000 pages so they haven't been able to verify it's in the law.

    I wonder if it applies to workers that retired from a company then return to the same company or if it applies to retirees that return to work for a different business.

    More right wing propaganda
    They admit they did not read it but imply they know what is and it

    The question is being used to imply there's something in the law
    And not a sincere question
    And I did not read the law

    I am reading the OP as a real question and a very serious one at that. A 2,000 page document that nobody read. Who the hell knows what is it. So what the OP is asking can be a real thing

    A. I read it. It's not that hard.

    B. Why in the world would think retired people would worry about this? When you are old enough to retire you're likely old enough for Medicare. ACA has nothing to do with Medicare.

    Stupid. Senior citizens already have health care, so their employers don't have to provide it to them. Why fire people you don't have to provide heath care to. In fact is could help seniors find employment.

    There is a reason your premiums are this high. What is it?

    This has nothing to do with the thread or my post.

    What rise in cost does the company have, and show how the ACA is responsible. Because so far, those arguing that it somehow does don't seem to have any idea what they're talking about

    No, they're not that high. Switch jobs for insurance if you're unhappy with yours.
