“This Client is a Victim of Obamacare”

Reblogger Debbie Walsh
Real Estate Agent with SHAHAR Management

This post was written by mortgage professional Joe Petrowsky from Manchester, CT.  I usually stay away from anything even remotely political but when I read this I knew I had to add this post to my blog.  There is something seriously wrong when people are working as hard as they can especially in more than 1 job and cannot realize their goal and the joy of the "American dream" of owning their own home.

“This Client is a Victim of Obamacare”

 

Danielle graduated college and is having difficulty getting full-time employment. She has taken two part-time jobs,  24 hours a week for one and 20 hours for the other since getting out of school.

 

One of her goals after graduating was to purchase a home instead of renting. Her parents are going to gift her the down payment, so she came to me to get preapproved for a mortgage.

 

finding full time employmentHere is the problem, she doesn’t have a full-time job, rather two part-time jobs. Neither of the two employers she has, want to take on any additional full-time employees because they will soon be liable for health insurance. She told me that both employers are reducing their full-time employees in preparation of the health care laws that will be going into effect in 2014.

 

Almost all Lenders view Danielle as having part-time employment and won’t approve a loan for her, even though she has the two part-time jobs and is working over 40 hours per week and certainly makes a sufficient income to pay a mortgage. I will keep searching for a lender that will understand Danielle’s situation and be able to do a mortgage for her.

 

Danielle is just one of the many victims of Obamacare and there will be many more. I recently read an article about two companies that were sharing employees to avoid full time employment. In the months ahead, more of these situations will come to light. Obamacare is a disaster and the sooner it is repealed the better for America.

Hi Debra:  We have an employee who IS full time with us and is salaried, but her expenses and debts are too high, so she can't afford our supplemented medical plan.  Many people are in tough shape, and we have Bush to thank for it because he tanked our economy and the RE industry in 2007/08.

Affordable Health Care is overdue. Every other 1st world nation has health care for all and even Reagan tried to give it to us.  We either help them with prevention or pay outrageous med health coverage, so folks can wander into ERs bleeding, with no coverage.  I'm for early prevention and preemptive care.

Try Vlora Shala in New Rochelle, NY, and her magician of a lending pro, at:  (914) 298-3210 https://www.luxurymortgage.com.  They can work miracles and hope they can help your Danielle.  

Sorry, married a New Yorker and stuck in the East, but am from Berkeley, CA...a born Dem...enough said, right?  I honor yours and everyone else's views, as diversity in ALL things is what makes this nation great.

Affordable health care might be overdue, but copying the failed socialist programs in Europe is idiocy.

Stupid laws make for bad results and ObamaCare is full of stupidity. You want lower rats? Allow insurance companies to cross state lines with policies. That gives larger pools and more people to share the costs.

How terrible.  And the saddest part of all is that she isn't the only one suffering like this.

Thank you for the re-blog. Unfortunately I have not found a lender for Danielle as yet and will keep up the search until we find a solution.

Debra, The so-called Affordable Health care act as it turns out has a national price tag 3X what was promised and, my premiums have jumped with increases that aren't so affordable. enough on that before I get going. I really never thought about the situation this young lady is in. This is a real sad state of unintended consequences.

That is terrible.  (I also stay away from politics as much as possible, but it's a mischaracterization to blame this situation on Obamacare.  It is a problem, but it's a "pre-existing condition" that's only getting worse.)

Debbie, it's tough to watch people working hard and being responsible only to get the proverbial "shaft".  I went through something similar with a client, but fortunately he had two years of employment records for his two part time jobs so my lender is able to make it work for him.
