Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug, Best of the Web August 25, 2014

The posts from Coyote Blog and Mish on the new PPACA reporting requirements and the explosion of Americans on welfare are both outstanding and absolutely worth the time to read.  The third story is probably only of interest to you if you have implemented a more-than-voluntary wellness program.

40% of U.S. on Welfare; Obamacare Expands Welfare by 23 Million; More on Welfare Than Full-Time-Employed (Mish)

The nightmare of Obamacare reporting: Everyone is scratching their heads, wondering what this means.  For those with seasonal and part time workers, this form is pretty much unworkable. (Coyote Blog)

The EEOC has filed the first lawsuit directly challenging a wellness program under the ADA.  Their assertion is that an employer cannot compel participation by imposing enormous penalties on employees who do not wish to partake.
