Yet another casualty of ObamaCare is going down in flames, pardon the play on words. The I.R.S. gestapo has ruled that volunteers in fire departments are "employees" and that volunteer fire departments must therefore provide health insurance. Most volunteer departments serve small, often remote communities who would otherwise be unable to afford fire protection. These departments operate off of donations and occasional grants, skinny budgets to day the least. This leaves them unable to afford to pay for health insurance for their volunteers.
An Administration official, oblivious to reality, is said to have explained, (I don't know what the fuss is all about; this only applied to departments with more than 50 on staff."
Now, who is to blame for this bilge water, Barry?
