Started part time with them in 05 when I decided to start my own business. They had United Healthcare for part timers at the time and one of the reasons I chose them as my part time. Fortunately, my business is self sustaining now and I pay my own insurance through it now (increased with lesser benefits thanks to Obamacare). HD changed their policy for PT'ers a couple yrs ago, basically covering up to like 25K in medical expenses, then you're on your own. I have no idea what it is now, but imagine it's the same or worse. I do know they dropped all PT'ers to under 29 hrs a week and have been hiring less FT employees and more PT employees though. So now, they pay less and will be paying less benefits. Working out great, thanks Obama.

That's the whole point of this exercise.

Govt exacerbates a problem to the point where they are the only solution to protect the proletariat from the evil private employers. This fits hand in glove with the class warfare shite.

Then it gives morons an excuse to say "We NEED universal health care period".

What can't figure out is how the unwashed lefties of the 60's who were oh so antiestablishment have decided that the govt should hold the power to do damn near anything it wants. guess the "establishment" isn't so bad when you are in it, huh?

$25,000 medical coverage won't pay for squat. One broken leg on a trampoline cost a mother $40,000 for the initial treatment. Then there were follow up doctor visits and rehab.

One medical condition, and that 25k is gone. What a shitty "benefit".
