As the ObamaCare nightmare becomes reality, some workers risk losing health care altogether unless a waiver from the anti-business Marxist scheme is secured.
As reported, in part, at USATODAY*:
Nearly a million workers won't get a consumer protection in the U.S. health reform law meant to cap insurance costs because the government exempted their employers.
Thirty companies and organizations, including McDonald's (MCD) and Jack in the Box (JACK), won't be required to raise the minimum annual benefit included in low-cost health plans, which are often used to cover part-time or low-wage employees.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which provided a list of exemptions, said it granted waivers in late September so workers with such plans wouldn't lose coverage from employers who might choose instead to drop health insurance altogether.
Without waivers, companies would have had to provide a minimum of $750,000 in coverage next year, increasing to $1.25 million in 2012, $2 million in 2013 and unlimited in 2014
Once again, the brutal anti-business policies of the Democrat Party threaten the health and safety of millions of hard-working Americans!
Will workers remember on November 2?
