Does This Not Tell Us All We Need To Know About ObamaCare?

ObamaCare call center will hire only part-time workers so as not to have to provide health care insurance.

I can't make this stuff up. So, perhaps a poll next week. Who offers better health care coverage?

• Wal-Mart
• ObamaCare Call Center 

Having said that, the Wal-Mart story is very, very interesting. Forbes is reporting:

According to the 2013 Walmart “Associate’s Benefit Book”— the manual for low-level Walmart employees—part-time workers who got their jobs during or after 2011 will now be subject to an “Annual Benefits Eligibility Check” each August.

Employees hired after Feb. 1, 2012, who fail to average the magic 30-hours per week requiring a company to provide a healthcare benefit, will lose their healthcare benefits on the following January. Part-time workers hired after Jan. 15, 2011, but before Feb. 1, 2012, will be able to hang onto their Walmart health care benefit if they work at least 24 hours a week.

Anyone hired before 2011 will not be cut off from the company provided health insurance.

Of course, Walmart carefully controls employee work schedules and will have the opportunity to design worker hours in a manner that will keep employees at a level below the threshold required to accomplish company healthcare benefits pursuant to the law.

While there have been increasing reports of American employers reacting to the requirements of the Affordable Care Act by making plans to cut employee work hours so that these companies may deny health insurance as a benefit of employment—particularly in the restaurant and fast food industries—it appears that Walmart has been planning this move all along.

However, that's NOT the story.

The REAL story is that Wal-Mart had this figured out from the get-go. It was to their advantage that ObamaCare passed. They will transfer the cost of health care from Bentonville to Washington, DC.

The full story at the link is absolutely fascinating. 

This should be the end of bashing Wal-Mart for not providing adequate health care coverage for their workers. Wal-Mart will now make sure their employees get the best care available through the Federal government.
