ObamaCare: Walmart Changing Insurance for Part Time Employees

Huffington Post reports: 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.

Walmart declined to disclose how many of its roughly 1.4 million U.S. workers are vulnerable to losing medical insurance under its new policy.

Is this the beginning of Single Payer Insurance? It is anticipated that many of these part time employees will now join the expanded Medicaid part of ObamaCare.

Does Walmart, a major contributor to the Obama campaign in the last election, see this as an opportunity to further cut costs at the expense of taxpayers?

The ObamaCare fallout continues.
