The latest victims of Obamacare. Look what those meanies at Walgreens did...from Bloomberg - "About 160,000 Walgreen employees now have to choose which coverage plan suits them best at a time of rising complexity in the health-care system. While Walgreen said it will provide funding in 2014 equal to what workers get now, the move curtails uncertainty on future outlays, and there’s no guarantee its contribution will rise if premiums do."
Walgreens will provide funding for their employees, but at a fixed rate. As health care costs go up, it will be up to the employee to cover the difference. So Walmarts joins the growing list of companies shifting the burden of healthcare onto their employees and the government.
Who could have seen this coming, eh? We'll have to start a sticky soon of all the people who’ve lost their health coverage due to wonders of Obamacare.
The way private companies are approaching this shift in health coverage is similar to what Congressman Ryan proposed, a premium support subsidy for Medicare - by the companies in this case, by the federal government in Ryan's proposal.
What is ironic is the administration and its supporters, who loudly and viciously attacked Ryan's proposal as unfair....., are effectively forcing the same model onto the millions of low wage employees, via the health exchanges. buy your coverage through the exchanges and we'll supplement your premium.
A hundred bucks a month premium will not buy much in the way of coverage, btw.

That is just what the individual has to outlay. The rest of the premium is subsidized by Uncle Sam.
Yet when you go to the HHS site that "will" changed to "may"
