Walmart, an Obamacare Supporter, Drops Coverage for Another 30,000 Employees

Published



In 2009, Walmart, the left-wing think tank Center for American Progress, and the Service Employees International Union, wrote a pro-Obamacare letter touting “the promise of reduced health care cost increases” that would come from “health care reform.”  Walmart and friends wrote, “We are for shared responsibility,” opined that “health care costs more because we don’t cover everyone,” and said that “losing coverage pushes people already dealing with financial hardship to the verge of financial collapse.”  Now Walmart has dumped another 30,000 part-time workers’ insurance plans, thanks to higher costs brought on by Obamacare.

Walmart already dropped coverage for some part-time employees back in 2011, a year and a half after Obamacare’s passage.
