Don’t Blame Walmart, Blame ACA!



Don’t Blame Walmart, Blame ACA!

Earlier in the week, Walmart Stores Inc., announced that it would be terminating health care plans for those working under 30 hours, and that health care plan costs would be rising substantially in 2015.

Those not well informed, and our liberal media are pointing fingers at Walmart for announcing this.

Attention those in the groups above, here is your wake up call! 

This is not Walmart’s fault. 

Both of these changes are due to the nation’s awesome Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare”.

First, Mandates buried in this Act required employers to make changes in the 2014 plan year which included dropping those working under 30 hours on average per week from their company health care plans, dropping spouses coverage, as well as cutting other benefits such as vacation hours, holiday pay.

In 2014, Walmart did not follow what most every other company did in this respect and maintained health care insurance and other benefits for their associates working under 30 hours on average per week.

Secondly, All of us fortunate enough to have health care plans through our employers can expect significant premium increases for 2015.

Claims paid out under the first year of the act in many cases are exceeding what is being paid in.  For example, in Iowa, $1.07 in claims has been paid out thus far in 2014 for every $1.00 in health care insurance premiums being collected. 

It is a rare moment when “It’s Not Sam’s Walmart….Anymore”, would be siding with a decision made by the Home Office, but we are, for one reason.  This decision is mandated under the Affordable Care Act, no company has a choice.

Further mandates that none of us know about as they are buried in the Act, are scheduled to kick in after the November 4, 2014 elections.

Therefore, if you do not like what Walmart is being forced to do, support the repeal of the Affordable Care Act by voting the liberals out on November 4th.  It is that simple.
