Yesterday I attended a meeting of the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee in Raleigh, North Carolina. There were a number of items discussed–the Read to Achieve program, Charter Schools in North Carolina<\/a>, the Founding Principles Act, and the complications in hiring substitute teachers<\/a> caused by the implementation of ObamaCare<\/a>. Yes, ObamaCare has made it more difficult for schools in North Carolina to hire the substitute teachers they need. Why? Because ObamaCare requires that every person working thirty hours a week be given health care.<\/p>\n

ObamaCare requires that health benefits be extended to non-permanent full-time employees in North Carolina who traditionally have not been eligible for coverage under the State Health Plan<\/a>. ObamaCare also complicates things for retired certified teachers covered under their retirement<\/a> health plans. If they are substitute teaching more than 29 hours a week, they have to be covered by their employers and are no longer eligible for their retirement health care benefit.<\/p>\n

There were two suggestions made for legislative options that would solve this problem, but my point is this, “How is it that the federal government<\/a> created a problem for a state that has to be solved with a new state law<\/a>?” What is the federal government doing saying anything about a state’s health care policies? The shortage of substitute teachers in North Carolina is only one of many reasons we need to rein in the federal government.<\/p>\n

From Healthcare to Common Core, it is time to get the federal government out of the states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
