House Republicans have released their latest fix for the Affordable Care Act, which would ease the requirement that employers with over 50 employees offer everyone who works more than 30 hours a week health insurance. Under the current law, if they don't offer insurance, employers pay a penalty of $2,000 to $3,000 per employee. Republicans argue that provides a big incentive for companies to cut jobs or hours, and so have titled their proposed legislation the "Save American Workers Act."
