Crossroads ad hits ObamaCare employer mandate

Crossroads is spending $20,000 to run the online ad in support of Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.). 

After criticizing ObamaCare’s employer mandate, the video praises Bucshon for co-sponsoring a bill that would move the threshold for healthcare coverage to 40 hours per week.

The healthcare law requires most employers with more than 50 workers to either offer health insurance to employees who work more than 30 hours per week or pay a penalty.

The administration has delayed enforcement of the mandate for one year to give businesses more time to comply.
