Walmart's New Health Care Policy

[SHRED]

Shifts Burden To Medicaid, Obamacare

Under the policy, slated to take effect in January, Walmart also reserves the right to eliminate health care coverage for certain workers if their average workweek dips below 30 hours -- something that happens with regularity and at the direction of company managers.

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. In an emailed statement, company spokesman David Tovar said Walmart had “made a business decision” not to respond to questions from The Huffington Post and accused the publication of unfair coverage.

Think of all that revenue private health insurance corporations will miss out on...wow.
I think the "silver lining" in this is that WalMart is speeding up our move to a single-payer system.
