Citing rising costs, Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer,
told its employees this week that all future part-time employees who
work less than 24 hours a week on average will no longer qualify for
any of the company’s health insurance plans.

In addition, any new employees who average 24 hours to 33 hours a week
will no longer be able to include a spouse as part of their health
care plan, although children can still be covered.

This is a big shift from just a few years ago when Wal-Mart expanded
coverage for employees and their families after facing criticism
because so many of its 1.4 million workers could not afford or did not
qualify for coverage — rendering many of them eligible for Medicaid.


Sweet. Send your employees to emergency rooms and medicaid so the
taxpayers can cover it. Excellent strategy to bolster net profits for
the company that imports more Communist Chinese goods to America than
any other.

Hey all you wingers, make sure to patronize Walmart cuz they believe
in Jesus.

I thought Obama care was going to fix all if this. Don't they have to
provide coverage now? 2014?

I don't know.

I do know Obama care was going to raise costs and this is the excuse
Walmart cites.

They're low-wage employers. Getting the cheapest crap to sell at the
highest margin using cheap labor is their business model.

They're retailers for the Communist Chinese. It's nice that China has
rising wages and rapidly expanding infrastructure. And the Heartland
of America is funding it.

Meanwhile, Walmart doesn't give a **** if its employees have to go to
emergency rooms and medicare, cuz the tab gets picked up by Mr. and
Mrs. America.

Excellent.

Have you checked out the 'Made in China' items at Home Depot lately? Your 'German' screwdrivers
probably came from China originally - then repackaged in German containers.



Amazing how you righties seem to "get off" on the proliferation of
communist-made goods in our stores. One might think you prefer it to
U.S.-made goods produced by American workers earning a decent wage.


Snotty builds rowboats out of exterior plywood. WTF would he know
about the quality of a german tool.

Little dweeb probably eats food imported from China.
