You can bet that most Walmart employees will fall below 30 hours of work a week!
Meanwhile, the billionaire Waltons get even richer by using government programs, funded by tax payers, to supplement Walmart's poor pay and benefits.
This is why the wealthy "job creators" need to pay more taxes. These job creators are robbing the tax payers to enrich themselves.
They didnt start Walmart so that they could provide Health insurance! They started Walmart to MAKE MONEY! Evil money!!! THEN, as they made money, they can do something nice for the employees like provide the healthcare plan they had!!
But then Obama comes in and demands more!!
And since Walmarts main goal is keeping prices low for the customer and making money, this new plan of Obama's (who has never worked in the private sector by the way) would make that impossible! Because the more money Walmart needs to do do business, that cost will have to be passed down to the customer.
Unintended consequences.........
Elections have consequences, Walmart employee Obama supporter. Own it.
Want to criticize someone? Then how about the democrats who wrote the law, and Obama for allowing untold thousands of unions to claim exemptions from the law? How about the other companies who are eliminating jobs and cutting hours to avoid paying health insurance?
Your distinguished liberal leaders wrote the law, and now you guys still gripe and moan. Liberals cannot be satisfied.
If liberals didn't have something to whine about,....they would invent something.
Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, plans to begin denying health insurance to newly hired employees who work fewer than 30 hours a week, according to a copy of the company’s policy obtained by The Huffington Post.
Under the policy, slated to take effect in January, Walmart also reserves the right to eliminate health care coverage for certain workers if their average workweek dips below 30 hours -- something that happens with regularity and at the direction of company managers.
Which is why we need to repeal Obamacare and implement a single payer, universal system for all, funded by increased taxes on businesses.
American companies are already at a competitive disadvantage to other nations that have universal systems - such as Canada, China and Japan - which do not have to consider employee healthcare costs as an operating expense.
Plus, private insurance offers nothing in the way of improving care or access to care. Just one more layer of bureacracy between patient and doctor, so it's a win-win for everyone.
I agree.
