Comrade Kenny..."Climate Change Might Just Be Driving the Historic Cold Snap".... Maybe resident hussein obama in White House will have to start up all of those coal fired plants he forced to shut down and generate a bit of Co2 to get the Global warming back on tract. ? :-)

You find "double-think" attractive. A shame you don't have a tail you can chase.

CLIMATE CHANGE? Finally gave up on Global Warming? Makes me choose brainwashee rather than brainwasher. Just for the record New City just broke a low temperature record set in 1896. It takes a big man to admit he is wrong, little man.

Could it be the melting ice of the southern hemisphere's summer is trapping the global warming scientists visiting the melting ice cap of the south pole area? What a bunch of idiots. The melting ice also trapped those trying to rescue the global warming idiots. Does this mean the warmer it gets the more ships are going to be trapped in the melting ice?

Surprise! Walmart health plan is cheaper, offers more coverage than Obamacare

Posted on January 7, 2014 by stella
I’m sure this is true of many group health plans (such as the one I have myself), but it pleased me to see this particular comparison today.

New Obamacare health insurance enrollees may feel a pang of envy when they eye the coverage plans offered by Walmart to its employees.

For many years, the giant discount retailer has been the target of unionsand liberal activists who have harshly criticized the company’s health careplans, calling them “notorious for failing to provide health benefits” and “substandard.”

But a Washington Examiner comparison of the two health insurance programs found that Walmart’s plan is more affordable and provides significantly better access to high-quality medical care than Obamacare.

Unlike Obamacare, there are no income eligibility requirements. Age and gender do not alter premium rates. The company plan is the same for all of Walmart’s 1.1 million enrolled employees and their dependents, from its cashiers to its CEO.

A Journal of the American Medical Association analysis from September showed that unsubsidized Obamacare enrollees will face monthly premiums that are five to nine times higher than Walmart premiums.

JAMA found the unsubsidized premium for a nonsmoking gouple age 60 can cost $1,365 per month versus the Walmart cost of about $134 for the same couple.

Low premiums are not the only distinguishing feature of the Walmart plan. The retailer’s employees can use eight of the country’s most prestigious medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic, Pennsylvania’s Geisinger Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic.

At these institutions, which Walmart calls “Centers of Excellence,” Walmart employees and their dependents can get free heart or spinal surgery. They can also get free knee and hip replacements at four hospitals nationwide.

Many top-rated Walmart hospitals — such as the Mayo and Cleveland clinics — are left out of most Obamacare exchange plans.

But the real difference between Obamacare and Walmart can be seen in the levels of day-to-day access to doctors and hospitals.

Interesting. Read the rest HERE
