<<<Target Corp. (TGT) said it will end health insurance for part-time employees, joining Trader Joe’s Co., Home Depot Inc. and other retailers that have scaled back benefits in response to changes from Obamacare.

About 10 percent of Target’s part-time employees, defined as those working fewer than 30 hours a week, use the company’s health plans now, according to an announcement posted today on the Minneapolis-based company’s website.

The employer provided plans that were held under it's stronger grouping numbers, and this for a discount was working for many just fine, now look what is happening to a system that once worked great in that area now. I mean WOW !

The health care industry will be lucky if they can keep plans on people who are expected to pay them the money (fines and threats ain't going to cut it either), out of pocket. Once they get their hands on that money at the end of the week, and then they figure that the car payment, house payment, children being fed, vehicles broken again, electric bill surprise, or a tree fell on the car with no full coverage insurance sort of stuff happens, then that stuff will always come first so watch out, because people are going to juggle things the best way that they can, and no government will ever be able to force them to perform miracles just because they say so.

These things wil come before that money is given to the health industry straight from their hands to the health industries hand otherwise found in many situations that happen in an instant or happen in that fashion.

When money that is never seen or held is deducted first, no one misses it, but once it is added into the net or the take home pay, it changes the game big time.

Just you wait and see, it's going to be a big ole stinker very soon. Now how much it will be pushed under the rug in order to save face, well that is going to be another thing to look for.

And they'll get paid $500 in the process!

"Will qualify"?

We passed it, we found out what's in it, and you still don't have a clue?
