For a worker like that, losing health insurance at work doesn’t actually look like a bad deal. Instead, its [sic] a pretty good deal: it gives part-time employees the chance to qualify for way more generous financial help than Walmart would ever offer.

Because government just has to shake the money tree to pay for that. What a genius.

Come to think of it, laying her off completely could qualify her for free Medicaid, and for unemployment or welfare payments, which are “far more generous” payments than Walmart would ever offer for not working.

Makes a lot of sense if the goal is to having every working person dependent on the government, but doesn’t do much to support a productive society.
