And on the exchanges they can still subsidize the insurance. So,
if they did not want to have their workers insured they would
not have insured them in the first place.
In looking that up I found three companies focused on,
Walgreens, Trader Joe's and Home Depot. All three had very poor
coverage for those part time workers. Overall they will get
better coverage on the exchanges than they had, the companies
will still be subsidizing their coverage, the employees were
paying the rest themselves before, and the cost will be around
the same or less.
The relatively few who will be paying more live in republican
controlled states that have chosen not to expand medicaid, and
even don't have state fun exchanges. IOW, they would be eligible
for medicaid, but won't be because the republicans chose it to
be so.
If you read up on it at all, you already knew this, which means
you chose to be deceptive. If you didn't, you chose willful
ignorance.
