"The measure would allow businesses to hire veterans without having them count as full-time employees under the Affordable Care Act, provided the veterans already have health insurance through the Veterans Affairs or Defense departments."

Veterans jobs bill advances; future is uncertain

The Hire More Heroes Act passed unanimously out of the House just hours after new members were sworn into office. Republican leaders touted the effort as the start of their 2015 job-creation efforts.

That mighty be ideal for retirees but how many of those veterans who get out have the proper coverage through disability or other means of discharge have the coverage required by the ACA?

I think it helps to entrench the ACA further, so, no, not a good idea.
