Walmart, the world’s largest retailer and America’s largest employer has announced that they will stop offering health insurance to new hires. Walmart is blaming the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) for the decision to deny healthcare to their newest employees.If an employer has a worker that receives insurance through Medicare than their employer has to pay a fine. The fine is substantially less than the cost of health care for the worker. Conservatives are arguing that this provision is where President Obama and Congress are trying to take over healthcare. By making the fine cheaper than providing healthcare to their employees it will force all of those employees who are of limited means into a government program.
Wallmart is so full of crap. With the wages they pay their employees cannot even afford to pay for the HC wallmart was offering them now.. Don't believe me go ask any Wallmart employee. Wallmart position is So stupid it's not even worth addressing or typing another sentence about.
