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.
