Home Depot To Dump 20K Workers Onto Train Wreck Obamacare Exchanges
Home Depot Inc. (HD), the world’s largest home improvement retailer, plans to end medical coverage for about 20,000 part-time employees and direct them to government-sponsored exchanges scheduled to open next month as companies revamp benefits to fit the U.S. Affordable Care Act.
Employees with fewer than 30 hours a week will no longer be offered limited liability medical coverage, Stephen Holmes, a spokesman, said today by telephone. About 5 percent of Atlanta-based Home Depot’s 340,000 employees are enrolled in that plan.
Wild Thing’s comment…………
I would love to see a body count of the number of people being thrown into this madness from their jobs that voted FOR Obama. Just curious! Every time I read about another company and another company etc. laying people off, putting people on part time and turning them over to obamacare, I can help but wonder how many are now waking up to the biggest mistake in their life they made voting for the POS Obama.
