They will now suffer due to a law that no one read.\u00a0Previously they didn\u2019t provide insurance to all temporary workers but had the flexibility to secure coverage for those workers who needed it.\n\u00a0\u201cNow, Cornerstone Staffing Inc. is forced to provide coverage to all of their employees\u2014whether they need it or not\u2014which means they can\u2019t afford to place as many individuals in needed jobs. \u00a0\n\u201cThis legislation passed today by the House will bring relief to companies like Cornerstone and their employees struggling with Obamacare and while\u00a0according to the CBO,\u00a0increasing government revenue by $400 million. This is common sense.\u201d\nH.R. 3522 passed the House by a vote of 247-167 with Rep. Terry voting yes.\u00a0\n# # #\n    \n  \n  \n  \n    \n      f \n      t \n      #\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140911235056/http://leeterry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=393198"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 7.307502906769514, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
