Funny thing is, Wal-Mart isn't a nation, they are a business. The other 54% are part time workers. It's not like they arbitrarily fucked over 54% of the employees. It took Obamacare to do that. That 54% is now permanently stuck at 29 hours a week.

Not providing basic health coverage to over half of your employees would meet my definition of fucking them over.

I'm living through administering the clusterfuck that is the ACA, and normally agree with what you've posted on this thread. This one is bullshit though: Walmart doesn't pay a decent wage or benefits to over half of their employees, sending them on to Medicaid rolls or to the ER for urgent and emergent care. In other words, we the taxpayers are subsidizing Walmart (and McDonalds, etc.).Batboy2/75 wrote:DEM EVIL NON-UNION SLAVE MASTERS!

BS- Wal-Mart employees are paid exactly what they were worth. Nor is it Wal-Mart's, the Government's , your, mine, retard Terry's or anyone else's responsibility to provide healthcare to anyone.lasalle wrote:I'm living through administering the clusterfuck that is the ACA, and normally agree with what you've posted on this thread.

It was previously stated that the 54% who aren't covered were all choosing to be part-time workers (I assume to avoid being paid more money and being bumped up to a higher tax bracket or needing to accept health coverage).Turdacious wrote:So a business responds to a government policy in a rational and predictable fashion-- and it's the business' fault?Terry B. wrote:Wal-Mart isn't a nation...stick to posting pictures you find on Facebook and don't try to have another thought.Batboy2/75 wrote:Another ZERO for the resident Tard Terry.

Obamacare rules are forcing employers to choose between a large rise in labor costs or reducing their employees hours. It's been pretty well noted here on IGx and in the media.Terry B. wrote:If you have any evidence that the 54% of uncovered workers are in their position because they are choosing part-time hours or that this number has changed since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, I would be interested in seeing it.Turdacious wrote:That's not what he said.

I'm not tracking. People are going to get sick. That gets paid for one way or another. I'm in no way advocating for socialized medicine, but it's pretty simplistic to say that taking away any safety net is going to make the bills go away.Batboy2/75 wrote:BS- Wal-Mart employees are paid exactly what they were worth.

If the Government is subsidizing anything it's because of soft headed fools that believe someone else is going to pay for their free (insert handout) and or believe some else is footing the bill for their fake charity.
I had no fucking idea that's why I joined the military. Thanks for that piece of wisdom that I'm certain would have eluded me had you not so clearly put it to me. As a matter of fact, had I known that I would have joined Walmart after leaving service and avoided this bullshit VP of North America job I have.Terry B. wrote: ....Certainly, nobody is forcing the employees to work there but working in a place like Wal-Mart is like picking fruit illegally or being in the military in that it's done by those with limited career options nor resources.
http://www.katu.com/news/local/Gov-deni ... 87331.htmlGov. John Kitzhaber’s staff hastily ended his scheduled one-on-one interview with KATU News on Thursday morning barely four minutes after it had begun when KATU began asking about problems with Cover Oregon's website.
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/20 ... ges#r=readThe Affordable Care Act prompted predictions that many employers would drop coverage entirely and send all their workers to the exchanges. That hasn’t happened yet. If companies shift only their sickest employees into marketplace coverage, the practice could damage the marketplaces, which depend on premiums from younger, healthier participants to help cover the costs of older, sicker members. “I don’t believe the architects of the ACA set out for this to happen,” Twietmeyer says. “If employer groups have the opportunity to carve out high-cost claimants, that would accelerate the death spiral of the exchanges, because they won’t be able to balance the risk.”
There were “anti-dumping” provisions in the Affordable Care Act that prohibited employers from pushing sick employees into high-risk insurance pools that were created to cover individuals with preexisting health conditions until exchange coverage became available this year. But those provisions were not carried through into the rules governing exchange coverage. “It’s almost like they forgot to include that clause on the exchange side of the equation,” Barlament says.
http://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-u-gover ... ector.htmlA cybersecurity professional warned that the U.S. government failed to implement fixes to protect the HealthCare.gov website from hackers at a congressional hearing that Democratic lawmakers claimed was politically motivated.
"HealthCare.gov is not secure today," David Kennedy, head of computer security consulting firm TrustedSec LLC, said at a Thursday hearing of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.
He said "nothing has really changed" since a hearing of the same committee in November, when he and three other expert witnesses said they believed the site was not secure and three of them said it should be shut down immediately.
"I don't understand how we're still discussing whether the website is insecure or not," Kennedy told the committee. "It is insecure - 100 percent. It's not a question of whether or not its insecure, it's what we need to do to fix it."
Before the hearing, Kennedy told Reuters the government has yet to plug more than 20 vulnerabilities that he and other security experts reported to the government shortly after HealthCare.gov went live on October 1.
