Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) issued the following statement after voting in support of the Save American Workers Act (H.R. 2575) to repeal Obamacare's 30-hour definition of full-time employment.

"After four years and over 30 unilateral changes, Obamacare continues to wreak havoc on our health care system, our businesses and our economy. On top of increasing health care costs, this law is forcing businesses to slash hours, creating a part-time economy and leaving our families struggling to make ends meet," said Rep. Hudson.

"The uncertainty and frustration that this law creates are unacceptable. Because of Obamacare, small businesses are stuck with the tough decision to cut employee hours to stay afloat and mitigate job-killing mandates and red-tape. This bill will provide Americans relief by repealing the 30-hour rule, reducing Obamacare's burden on our employers while increasing hours, take-home pay and economic security for our workers. I will continue to fight to protect my constituents from the harmful effects of this terrible law."
