The House passed a bill Thursday that defines full-time work under Obamacare as a traditional 40 hours, with a dozen Democrats choosing to rebuff President Obama’s veto threat before the measure heads for a tougher test in the Senate.
The 252-172 vote to lift the bar from 30 hours to 40 marked the GOP-dominated Congress’ first stab at dismantling the Affordable Care Act, a cornerstone of their agenda now that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, sets the votes in the upper chamber.
