Citing rising costs, Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer,
told its employees this week that all future part-time employees who
work less than 24 hours a week on average will no longer qualify for
any of the company’s health insurance plans.

In addition, any new employees who average 24 hours to 33 hours a week
will no longer be able to include a spouse as part of their health
care plan, although children can still be covered.

This is a big shift from just a few years ago when Wal-Mart expanded
coverage for employees and their families after facing criticism
because so many of its 1.4 million workers could not afford or did not
qualify for coverage — rendering many of them eligible for Medicaid.


Sweet. Send your employees to emergency rooms and medicaid so the
taxpayers can cover it. Excellent strategy to bolster net profits for
the company that imports more Communist Chinese goods to America than
any other.

Hey all you wingers, make sure to patronize Walmart cuz they believe
in Jesus.

When I worked part time as a young man, we didn't get coverage until we
hit 35 hours a week. That was with one of the left wingers beloved
unions.. So **** your stupid double standard...

So you are ok with the taxpayers picking up the tab or sticking a
medical provider with thousands of dollars in bills?

Oh, wait...

That is the fleabagger world.



Oh, then you *know* who here stiffed a hospital out of tens of thousands
of bucks. :)

Which is maybe why it is a good time to say a surtax of 20% on all
income unless you can show you and your dependents are fully covered.

For 99% of the uninsured, it is priorities not money that is the issue.
Jack Daniels, cocaine, pot or a car is more important than health
care. Very few except for disabled with low incomes should need a free
ride. Fact is too many are fleabaggers stealing from those that pay for
it or really need it.

Knew of one such case when we lived in the US. They bragged constantly
on how every year they took vacations to the Great Wall, Egypt and other
big expensive vacation spots. Then they would turn to loosing their
home because they had no medical insurance for the triple bypass.

Fact is, it is about priorities for most.

And hospitals should only do the minimum. No exotic crap for
non-contributors. Fr them, a lower standard of care. They do this in
Canada. Waiting line for working, 2-6 weeks. Waiting line for
non-working low tax paying types for the same procedure might be 16 months.

One exception, kids under 18 should get good treatment, having
delinquent parents should not be deemed the kids fault.
