Indiana University Will Shift 50 Full-Time Employees To Temporary Agency Specifically Because Of ObamaCare

National Review is reporting:
The Indiana University is laying off 50 workers and sending them to a temp agency because of Obamacare.
Indiana University, which currently spends $215 million a year on health care, will shift 50 maintenance and custodial employees to an outside contractor that will hire them and will manage their hours. According to Indiana’s WRTV, the university is doing so to avoid paying for health insurance for the workers — Obamacare will require that all hourly employees who work 30 or more hours a week be provided with “affordable” health insurance.
Graduate students at IU have also fallen victim to Obamacare, as the university will be limiting the number of hours they can work to keep them under the 30-hour threshold as well.
I remember someone wrote me a long time ago, unhappy that I referred to this train wreck as ObamaCare. In fact, that name is being used by "everyone," including NPR. 

I track ObamaCare cost-shifting at the ObamaCareCosLeaving tag.

In addition to everything else, pundits and union chiefs have now noted that ObamaCare will destroy the 40-work week, something I posted a long, long time ago.
