House Republicans will use a veterans jobs bill to help launch their new congressional session and renew their attacks on the president’s health care priorities.
The measure, the Hire More Heroes Act, would allow businesses to hire veterans without having them count as full-time employees under the Affordable Care Act. Under the law, companies with 50 or more full-time workers must offer health insurance for their employees.
Supporters have argued the measure will encourage companies to hire more veterans and keep firms from cutting back on employees to stay under the 50-person mandate. House members approved the legislation last year, but the measure stalled in the Senate.
On Saturday, as part of the weekly Republican address, Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis said the measure will be reintroduced as part of the House’s initial slate of jobs bills, which he touted as “a great opportunity to grow our economy and put our nation on solid footing for a bright future.”
