    Who would have guessed that a well-staffed store filled with
    competent and reasonably paid employees might actually have an
    impact on the success of a company?
    Home Depot - that's who.

    In case anyone missed the news about Home Depot: "Other retailers, such as Trader Joe's and Home Depot have said they will no longer provide medical coverage for part-time employees, and will shift them instead to the public healthcare exchanges

    In case anyone missed the news about Home Depot: "Other
    retailers, such as Trader Joe's and Home Depot have said

    employees, and will shift them instead to the public
    healthcare exchanges

    And on the exchanges they can still subsidize the insurance. So,
    if they did not want to have their workers insured they would
    not have insured them in the first place.

    In looking that up I found three companies focused on,
    Walgreens, Trader Joe's and Home Depot. All three had very poor
    coverage for those part time workers. Overall they will get
    better coverage on the exchanges than they had, the companies
    will still be subsidizing their coverage, the employees were
    paying the rest themselves before, and the cost will be around
    the same or less.

    The relatively few who will be paying more live in republican
    controlled states that have chosen not to expand medicaid, and
    even don't have state fun exchanges. IOW, they would be eligible
    for medicaid, but won't be because the republicans chose it to
    be so.

    If you read up on it at all, you already knew this, which means
    you chose to be deceptive. If you didn't, you chose willful
    ignorance.
