As of right now the affordable healthcare act mandates that all employers employing workers student workers for over 20 hours a week must provide them with some sort of healthcare benefits causing many employers to cut these students hours to below 20 hours a week. This forces students who are using their job to pay for their education to have to cut back on other activities outside of school and severely reduces the amount of income that the student will be able to receive. It also forces the employer to hire more employees making more strenuous on small business owners employing students.
