Universal healthcare is an awful idea. Bad for patients, bad for doctors, bad for the country. The solution is to restore healthcare freedom in this country. First ObamaCare must repealed, then DC needs to enact real reform.
It is interesting to note the calls for single payer coincide with the prediction that more will be begging for it as Obamacare looms closer. Coincidence I'm sure.
Trader Joe's drops health insurance for PT workers. Like Whole Foods, I don't think their bottom line will be impacted too much. Neo-proggies will still love on their splendid assortment of goodies.
So...given the scornful tone in your original post, am I to assume that you think that taking our government back from entrenched, corrupt special interest groups/corporations is a bad thing?

It was designed that way. Obamacare is a disaster from top to bottom and will quickly fail, leaving the "only option" to be to move to the single-payer system they wanted in the first place. They very well knew that we couldn't jump straight to single-payer; the ACA is just a stepping stone to SP.
Aldi and Trader Joes are owned by the same German family foundation, the wealthiest in Germany. The company acquired Trader Joe's in the early 70's.
The family is not involved in the operations. Profits flow back to the family in the form of dividends. Like any investor, it's about ROI.
Like most grocers, the majority of TJ non management employees are part time because of the need for schedule flexibility and most importantly to avoid OT pay.
Discontinuing benefits for part time employees looks a like a temporary win-win for both sides. Employees get better coverage through the exchanges and the employer is off the hook.
^^This.
Slowly, but surely, we have started our move away from employer-sponsored health insurance.
Nice job of conveniently ignoring the memo goes on to stste: "Depending on income you may earn outside of Trader Joe's" -- i.e., another job -- "we believe that with the $500 from Trader Joe's and the tax credits available under the ACA, many of you should be able to obtain health care coverage at very little if any net cost to you," Bane wrote in the memo.
That being the case, why should anyone choose this particular memo as reason to shop or not to shop at TJs?
Mountain gone, only a molehill remains in this lame attempt to whine about Obama yet again.
Thanks.
