Best Answer

Some businesses like retail stores and fast food chains are reducing hours for employees so they do not qualify as full-time employees. If they do not qualify as full-time employees, the employer will not have to offer health coverage for them. This results in savings for the comp[any, but a drain on taxpayers as these employees will then need to apply for public assistance such as Medicaid, heavily subsidized private insurance or subsidized coverage through the state insurance pools.
