Day Care Centers Close in West Virginia Because of ObamaCare

February 20, 2014

Even children are now in the crosshairs of ObamaCare. Three day care centers in Charleston, West Virginia are closing their doors because President Obama’s health care law has made them too expensive to operate.

A local Fox affiliate, WVAH-TV reported that about 40 employees will be out of work due to the closings. Parents in Kanawha County will also have to find a new place to send their children while they work.

House Democrats continue to deny any job loss because of ObamaCare, but all they need to do is pay a visit to these centers in Charleston to understand the truth.

From National Review Online:

Three day care centers in Charleston, W. Va. are citing costs related to Obamacare as part of the reason they are closing down. Fox affiliate WVAH-TV reports that 40 workers are employed by the centers and will find themselves out of a job.

Kanawha County, which operates the centers, said they had lost $65,000 since the start of the school year as a result of expensive repairs and “concerns about added costs because of the Affordable Care Act.”

The county will work with parents to find replacement centers for their children. It will also help employees find new jobs within the district.
