Want Better Health Insurance than the ACA?

You may consider working at Walmart...

On Jan. 7, 2013, The Washington Examiner released the results of an investigation finding Walmart's employee health insurance is "significantly better" than Obamacare. Walmart has come under mega union labor union criticism as a retailer whose employees are both underpaid and mistreated.

In comparison to Obama care, it was discovered that Walmart plans were a whopping five to nine times less expensive. Full-service individual coverage in a Walmart HRA plan is available through a Blue Cross Blue Shield preferred provider organization for as little as $40 a month while family coverage averages $160 a month.

It begs the question: How can Walmart get a better insurance deal, at better prices with better benefits than government?

It's a mystery for sure lol

Really Rick? You are comparing individual plans to employer subsidized plans? Walmart is not selling an $1100 plan to their employees, they are following the law by providing a $5000-10000 plan of which the company subsidizes the premiums to which they receive tax deduction. The plan is only offered to full time qualified employees as part of their compensation package and is now required for large businesses as part of the ACA.

Chillax little doggie, just showing the reality that Walmart employees aren't treated as badly as many would like us all to believe. They could easily just dump everybody onto the exchanges where they will pay more and get less.

No they cannot. The ACA requires large businesses to provide insurance or pay stiff penalties.

The penalties are what many companies are going to pick, just wait and see.

I did finally find someone that was helped out by Obamacare. My sister saved $400/month and got much better coverage as she was able to go with the platinum plan. I was thrilled to find that the person that I am subsidizing is family lol
