Under certain circumstances, there is a conflict of interest between Federal Law Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Federal Law Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Yet there seems to be no FMLA-based exemption to ACA. Why this apparent oversight? If one cannot comply with ACA without jeopardizing, if not outright discarding, one's financial capacity to maintain compliance with one's FMLA situation, why should that person be penalized? After all, FMLA proptects one's job against absences caused by the FMLA-protected health condition(s). Is a person supposed to risk his/her job protection (and thus employment, income)granted by one federal law (FMLA) in order to comply with another federal law (ACA) that would see fit to penalize that person for complying with the first federal law (FMLA)?
