Wal-Mart provides health insurance for 44% of US-based employees, which would be a dismal failure for any developed country with national coverage.

Another ZERO for the resident Tard Terry. Yeah Terry!! Good Job Terry!! Eat your fruit roll up Terry and STFU.

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.

Yeah!! Part time nation!

Wal-Mart isn't a nation...stick to posting pictures you find on Facebook and don't try to have another thought.

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

Maybe for those who want to be full time and need health insurance.

A 100% partisan law that was obviously going to lead to a 25% cut in work hours for many is also fucking them over. Probably fucking them over even worse because they didn't have health insurance previously but now they have a serious cut in income and still don't have insurance.

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.).

Terry's like the retard that is convinced he is flying the plane (back in the day when they still allowed passengers in the cock pit) when the nice pilots humored them and ask them to set a new heading. Of course Terry thinks it's a failure not to insure part time retail workers. Terry hasn't had to make pay roll or keep a business afloat. In Terry's head, Wal-Mart should be handing out ponies and giving everyone 1 million dollar raises. That way everyone could retire and do nothing.

If you think about it, it explains a lot. Terry's like the retard that believes in Santa and unicorns. Except Terry isn't retarded and is a grown fucking adult. What is amusing and humorous with the retarded; is just plain creep and sad when it's Terry.

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.

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.

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).

However, now they covered a higher percentage of employees before the bill was passed? If they were closer to the 96% that COSTCO covers and they needed to cut back, I stand corrected.

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.

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.

I got nothing but compassion for the people.

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.

Nobody here is saying that the employees are choosing part time hours.

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.

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.

Ever consider the fact that if all the folks that voted Obama stopped shopping at Walmart, due to their rage at the way they treat their limited career opportunity employees, of course, Walmart would cease to exist as a "problem"? How about you go to Walmart and tell all the folk there how you know they are only there because they have no other choices and you saved them by voting Obama. Please record it. Few things those folks like more than "poor dumb animal liberals" looking out for them.

Terry lives and works outside of the US. Like our dearly departed Chesser, he's really got no skin in the game and I'd be surprised if he pays any taxes to the US government at all, since almost all of his info about living here comes secondhand now.

The calls for a bailout are not too far off. Big Healthcare supported the crony capitalist scheme called Obamacare and they want their guaranteed profits!

And BTW- three plus months and where are the usual crowd of IGx liberals? The fever swap is here and there, but they're here to nibble and the edges. Where or where are Cleaner, Spells and the gang? I thought they'd stop by to educate us stupid hicks.

The 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.

If this happens, guess what happens to your premium in the individual marketplace?

A 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.
