That’s because subsidized coverage can have a lower out-of-pocket cost for the insured employee while also providing better benefits than an employer-paid plan.
Under the Affordable Care Act, part-time employees are not eligible for health insurance subsidies if their employer offers insurance.

“It’s a win-win. The employee gets subsidized coverage, and the employer gets to lower costs,” Murphy said.'
Wait so now *******s are for subsidized employement?

So all along WalMart has been the good guy?

Indeed, it's like a free lunch: NOBODY pays for it.

Seriously, before the election there were a number of Obama supporters who went around claiming that Obama was gonna "give free healthcare to the poor".
