It seems that Walmart has decided that future new hires that do not work at least 30 hours a week will no longer be eligible for the company's health care plan. Currently that is not the case.
Instead, those people will have to apply to the newly expanded Medicaid program.
Anyone that has watched the last 80+ years of American history should not be surprised.
We passed Social Security. Employer pensions steadily declined.
We passed Medicare. Employer paid health care for retirees is now nearly non-existent.
At each step of the way we have separated those with money from their moral obligation to assist others. They figure that having paid their taxes, that they have have discharged their civic duties.
Why should anyone be surprised that CEO salaries have skyrocketed in the wake of the government assuming (illegitimately) the civic responsibilities of corporations?
