Hillary Clinton has decided that Obamacare isn't all it was cracked up to be, according to this Free Beacon story. In fact, she claims it's forcing Americans into part-time work.

...Did I miss something here? Seven years of OBAMA forced Americans into part-time work!

The Free Beacon was quick to point out her position has waffled....

QuoteIn October, Bloomberg reported that Clinton had praised the health care law by saying the bill helped women so they are no longer charged more based on their gender and that it has helped families avoid bankruptcy. In September, Clinton further attached herself to the law saying that if she became president that she would not repeal it, as many Republican candidates have said they would. She added that she would even build on it by tackling the high out-of-pocket drug costs.

When Clinton first ran for the presidency in 2008 she had called for a harsher employer mandate and embraced the notion of "pay or play" insurance coverage mandate that included small businesses with under 25 employees.

At the town hall, Clinton said that employers feel that, if an employee does not work 40 hours a week, they are not entitled to the benefits that a full-time employee receives.

"There is a disincentive in our system that we need to deal with, and I really worry about it because there is a trend to try and move more and more people into part-time work," Clinton said. "And sometimes you want to work part-time, it fits into your family, it fits into your life obligations, but sometimes you want to work full-time but you can't get a full-time job. So I want to look at all the employment rules." 

Entitlements, y'all. The gimmecrats won't stop until they seize it all.
