No employer has cut anybody's hours because of the healthcare law.  The employer mandate doesn't even begin until 2015.

Did you not notice that whole thing about the mandate being delayed? It was going to be much sooner, and employers actually prepare for things ahead of time when something is coming down the pipe. If you want to believe that the fact that there have been many employers cutting people to 29 hours is just a coincidence, I suppose you can do that.
I've heard a lot of speculation and hysteria. Precious few actual examples. Hiring and training new people to cover shifts is a very expensive, troublesome thing as well. Not nearly as easy as the rightwing scaremongers want us to believe. We'll see what happens. No system is going to be 100% air tight.
