Shipping giant UPS says rising costs under ObamaCare are causing it to roll back parts of its employees' healthcare plans.UPS will no longer offer healthcare coverage to employees' spouses who could obtain insurance through their own jobs, according to a notice first reported by Kaiser Health News.Spouses of UPS employees who do not work or are not offered healthcare at their jobs could remain on the UPS healthcare plan. So can children and stepchildren.
looks like i was a little premature with the slam, really if i were an employee i wouldn't be mad at 'em.
The University of Virginia announced the same change on Wednesday, saying it would no longer extend its healthcare plan to employees' spouses who have their own offer of employer-based coverage.The move is likely to fuel new criticism of the healthcare law. Republican lawmakers have long warned that the requirements under ObamaCare will force employers to cut hours and healthcare benefits.
not the same but republicans will spend the fact that it does continue coverage for unemployed spouses makes it different republicans would cut any coverage. i think this is reasonable maybe even a national plan template. wonder will republicans call uit welfare, how many of their spouses are covered and don't work? interesting thought falls in the realm of the pot kettle syndrome.
