Obamacare Enrollees Face Premiums 5-9 Times Larger Than Walmart Premiums Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, January 11, 2014, 5:11 PM Well, this about sums it up. The Walmart insurance plans are cheaper and offer more selections than Obamacare. The Washington Examiner reported, via Free Republic: 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 unions and liberal activists who have harshly criticized the company’s health care plans, 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… …Walmart offers its employees two standard plans, a Health Reimbursement Account and an alternative it calls “HRA High” that costs more out of employees’ pockets but has lower deductibles. Blue Cross Blue Shield manages both plans nationally. Also offered is a Health Savings Account plan that includes high deductibles but allows tax-free dollars to be used for coverage.

A family can get coverage for about $160 per month. 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. Obamacare enrollees face five to nine times larger premiums than Walmart premiums. Via The Examiner: thegatewaypundit.com
