First thing I hear on the local news this morning is that Target has dropped health ins for part time workers. Targets health ins. packages are very inexpensive, easily affordable on even part time pay. The company stated that insurance would terminate on April 1.
Just another casualty of Obamacare

Target's a pretty good corperate citizen giving 5% of it's profits daily to charity. That being said satisfying their shareholders is just part of doing business. Also with the recent security breech they've been spending money to shore that up.
I wonder what the sticker shock will be when these part time people have to go to obamacare!

I'm guessing that the drive to cut costs is more driven by losses implied by the data breach, and less about Obamacare. I'm not defending Obamacare, but it's become an all-too-convenient political football lately.

Very true, but Obamacare is a fact of life now, wether we like it or not.

QUOTE Is it, or is a way to please the share holders?
I maybe speculating but I would imagine it has more to do with being in compliance with the (un)Affordable Care Act than it has to do with share holders.
QUOTE The law known as Obamacare doesn’t require most companies to cover part-time workers, and offering them health plans may disqualify those people from subsidies in new government-run insurance exchanges that opened in October.
