OBAMACARE FALLOUT: WALMART ENDS INSURANCE FOR NEW HIRES


Big Gov

And so the government takeover of our health care system begins:
Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, plans to begin denying health insurance to newly hired employees who work fewer than 30 hours a week, according to a copy of the company’s policy obtained by The Huffington Post. …

Walmart declined to disclose how many of its roughly 1.4 million U.S. workers are vulnerable to losing medical insurance under its new policy. …

Labor and health care experts portrayed Walmart’s decision to exclude workers from its medical plans as an attempt to limit costs while taking advantage of the national health care reform known as Obamacare. Among the key features of Obamacare is an expansion of Medicaid, the taxpayer-financed health insurance program for poor people. Many of the Walmart workers who might be dropped from the company’s health care plans earn so little that they would qualify for the expanded Medicaid program, these experts said.

By making the fine for not providing health care cheaper than providing health care, this was always the plan: to encourage employers to send us to the government.

Wal-Mart makes a billion dollars in profit every twelve days. Not revenue, profit. And those are recession figures that will rise in 2012.

So their only choices is to treat their employees like shit and cut their benefits.

ISM index drops to 49.5% in November Stories You Might Like


By Jeffry Bartash WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. manufacturers contracted in November and activity fell to the lowest level since July 2009, as new orders sank and employment plans were scaled back, according to the closely followed ISM index. The Institute for Supply Management index fell to 49.5% from 51.7% in October. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected the index to remain flat at 51.7%. Reading under 50 indicate more manufacturers are shrinking instead of expanding. The index has now fallen in four of the last six months. The ISM's new-orders gauge sank to 50.3% from 54.2%, although the production index edged up to 53.7% from 52.4%. The employment gauge declined to 48.4% from 52.1%, the lowest level since September 2009. Earlier Monday, a similar U.S. manufacturing survey produced by Markit rose to a six-month high of 52.8 in November

Do you mean like Government Motors does to new hires.

Nice to know that taxes on dividends will go up to 20%, and for those who earn more than $200,000 they will be paying 43% on their dividends. When the government takes 20% of earned dividends, they are confiscating 20% of the value of the stock market, think about it. If the "value" of an investment is reduced by 20% and you don't think it's going to affect the investment's market attraction, you better go back to school. These kinds of taxes reduce investment and throttle the market.

That's ok, I've put all my money in Government Motors. The Volt sales will explode soon.

Obama wants to go over the cliff. Boner should denounce the Democrats as not serious, pass the Bush tax cut extension, send it over to Reid and let him take us over the cliff. Tell them they're not getting any new revenue and make them cut the government.
