Obamacare forces Home Depot to drop coverage for 20,000 employees!!!

Words fail me. The big-eared ape in our white house does everything wrong and then he lies about it and the super-racist tv networks refuse to criticize him because he's black.

I heard Obama canceled the Easter Egg roll again this year due to sequester. Also, nowhere to hide them

Along with everything else wrong with it, obamacare is clearly unconstitutional. States need to make that point since the useless SCOTUS rubberstamps everything the feds do.

Wasn't unconstitutional the argument to remove the non-profit requirement for HMO's which has led us to today?

Yes it was. The corrupt justice re-wrote the law and changed what Obama called a 'fine' to what the court called a 'tax'.

Kind of like what the definition of is, is

Hell of an economy we are having isn't it............................

We don't even have as many workers as we had in 2007 yet, and the Gov't spent large sums of money for shovel ready jobs, RIGHT..............................

The only area of main increases is in the PART TIME AREA, and much of it due to Obamacare.

Will his legacy be the 30 hour work week........................

Are the larger numbers of those on poverty......................

And still the idiots BOW to their King..............

The economy is back....for the rich and corporate America. No subsidies for jobs yet.

LMAO.. It's back? Yea, back in the crapper. It's so back Uncle Ben decided to keep the printing presses running full steam ahead pumping out 85 billion a month.

You guys are geniuses

Remember 4 years back when obozo said "If you like your present plan, you get to keep it. Period". He lies about everything.

Home Depot Dumps 20,000 Employees Onto ObamaCare Exchanges


Thursday, 19 September 2013 17:48

Add The Home Depot to the list of companies dumping part-time employees onto ObamaCare’s insurance exchanges — and taxpayers’ backs. According to the Daily Caller, the Georgia-based retailer announced that it is dropping health coverage for approximately 20,000 part-timers as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

“Unfortunately, the ACA precludes us from offering the limited liability medical plan we’ve been offering the part-time associates,” Home Depot’s director of corporate communications, Stephen Holmes, told the conservative website.

Like many other companies, Home Depot currently offers a low-cost health plan with limited benefits to its part-time employees. Such plans, however, are prohibited under ObamaCare, which requires employers to offer unlimited coverage with numerous mandated benefits and shoulder most of the cost of that coverage. In addition, the ACA requires employers to offer such coverage to all employees working at least 30 hours per week. Thus, the law simultaneously bans plans that both employers and employees could afford and forces employers to cover more people at a higher cost, giving them a great incentive to cover only those employees they absolutely must.
.

Guess what? This is good for those employees. The plans offered to part-timers at Home Depot suck. They barely can be considered catastrophic plans. Now these people will actually be able to purchase a good plan and if they are lower income earners, they'll get tax help to pay for it.

So when more employees get hit and are forced to accept part-time work (thanks to Obamacare) and more Americans earn less where they can not afford the cost to meet the health care mandate..... who is going to pay for all this sudden increase in "tax help"? Liberals haven't really thought this through. Ah, yes..... just simply raise the debt ceiling and kick the can down the road for some other President to solve this mess. Great job.

So people will have real health insurance not bound to their place of employment? Purchased from a competitive private sector market?

What's the conservative complaint about that, exactly?

So a company with a long history of douchebaggery towards its employees does something douchebaggish?

Really?

Home Depot CEO?s pay rises to $11.1 million | www.myajc.com

Home Depot last year awarded Chief Executive Frank Blake an $11.1 million pay package, a 3 percent raise, as the retailer of home-building and do-it-yourself supplies climbed out of a post-recession slump.

The destruction of the new bs GOP will be his legacy- THANKS for ruining the nonrich and the country, the depression, and screwing up the recovery for 4 years, fools/a-holes...

You missed the new talking point. Your hater dup idiot, liberal messiah says the economy is booming. So now are you going to credit republican, because so far everything has been their fault?

The complaint is they now have to PAY for it themselves instead of getting it for free from their employer.

Damn right they object. Esp after obozo promised this wouldn't happen.

Yes, that's obviously what this is about.

Before Obamacare, what was one to do if one had the money to buy healthcare and didn't want to have it tied to their employment? Nobody would sell health insurance to an individual before our benevolent leader willed it to be.

The problem isn't that people can have individual health insurance now. . . they always could. It was always tied to most peoples' employment because it benefits employers come tax time to be able to offer non-cash compensation, and it benefits individuals in that health insurance is expensive, and for most middle class people paying for your own by yourself is a big chunk of your income. Where the republicans have a problem is where you say that these people, rather than find an affordable middle ground solution, should be a burden of the tax base so that they can have better insurance then what they'd otherwise be able to afford.

Same problems republicans and conservatives have always had with the healthcare idea. Not generally big fans of more government aid and, whether you care to recognize the term or not, wealth redistribution. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge that this is where the controversy comes in, I hope you're at least honest enough with yourself to understand when you're dodging an argument.

Obama is the destroyer of worlds...

Bush, Republicans, and wall street caused the worst financial downturn in the history of the world. The American voters that voted for Bush and Republicans are responsible.

And Democrats, and Obama under Bush... Unless you care to show the policies they stalled or passed to stave off the evil Bush era crash.

You're both the same party, in fact it's interesting because Obama is doing the same policies Bush did, unless again you care to show where Obama and Dems are doing something different than Bush and Reps...

You do realize Dems had a super majority for 2 years under Bush right? What did they do with it, I mean Reps are the party of "no" and they only have the ******* house, how weak of a party are Democrats when they can't get shit done with a super majority?

WOW! Talk about a rant! Try SEC granted mergers which Congress has nothing to do with. ALL mergers granted during Bush either failed or significantly hurt the middle class. Deregulation of derivatives (Phil Gramm) was the deciding blow to the US and world economies.

Really? So what about all the douchebaggy things employers were doing before Obama got there?

Incidently, most of these 20K part timers usually have full time jobs they can get insurance at.

wTF are you talking about?. Individual policies have always been available. I've had one for 13 years.

Every company is going to go through lay offs and blame Obamacare instead of the economy since blaming Obamacare helps push their agenda.

I thought the same thing. Actually they won't do it because of the economy, but just to make more money. And then blame obozo. Bozo shoulda thought of that. HAHA
