This is what Obamacare was designed to do; to eliminate health insurance from the private sector and make it like the NHS.
Here they are starting with the part-timers. Pretty soon the FULL TIME employees will have no other choice but to swallow the ObamaCare load.
“It’s not Obama’s fault that Walmart is run by a bunch of heartless greedy bastards!”

Yep. ‘Progressing’ to single-payer.
As the minimum wage is pushed up and up small retailers will fall from the branches like apples from the tree. Walmart will grow like crazy!
Not a problem.
They’ll be able to afford O’Care with the $15/hour minimum wage Obama’s gonna give them...
Was this actually included in the Walmart statement? Or added by authors of the article?
It basically said that for their full time employees, the insurance they provide meets the criteria for insurance under ACA. For part timers, the insurance they provide does not. So they are just letting everyone know that it's mandated that everyone have insurance and part timers need to address that or face a penalty.
Oh, and this took effect Jan 1, 2014, but we're just telling you now. Have a nice day.
Good for Wal-Mart. Pass along the pain.
Walmart actions are actually about a year behind most big corporations, medium size corporations and local businesses with employees over the target # set up by the Obozoites.
Yep. Push them off employer plans onto the exchanges. Let them freak out with sticker shock when they see their bronze plan premium. A critical mass will form demanding rate regulations. One by one insurers will fold their hand, and government will step in to “save the day”.
Bingo, single payer.
That’s a lot of workers.
Hildabeast is on the board, right?
I grew up in the area where Sam Walton started Wal-Mart. He was known for treating his employees and customers and suppliers above and beyond what was required. This allowed him to create the largest juggernaut retailer in the world. My best friend from high school worked his way up to the top and was part of the corporate staff. When Sam died, the kids handed it over to ruthless MBA’s who preceded to strip-mine the company and milk it for every penny they could. The people who built Wal-Mart were ran out, the suppliers where driven overseas, and the employees where turned into welfare applicants.
Wal-Mart is not a good corporate citizen. One of my sons now works for them and they are completely run by the lawyers and HR department scheming on how to not pay their employees and make sure none of them are full time. Their same store sales are down for a reason, this company is on borrowed time.
All thanks be to Obama and the Progressive/Liberal Democrats who made it this way. They own it.
Let them know at the ballot box how you feel this election. Many feel poorly.
I can hear the workers now, “I voted for Obama, and that brought Obamacare, and now I lose my health insurance. It’s all Wal-Mart’s fault.”
Wal-Mart also used to tout its “Made in the USA” products. Those days sure are gone.
Perfect timing on the two announcements. Also the title, it sounds like some of the names legislatures give to bills.
