So, if they did not want to have their workers insured they would not have insured them in the first place. In looking that up I found three companies focused on, Walgreens, Trader Joe's and Home Depot. All three had very poor coverage for those part time workers. Overall they will get better coverage on the exchanges than they had, the companies will still be subsidizing their coverage, the employees were paying the rest themselves before, and the cost will be around the same or less. The relatively few who will be paying more live in republican controlled states that have chosen not to expand medicaid, and even don't have state fun exchanges. IOW, they would be eligible for medicaid, but won't be because the republicans chose it to be so. If you read up on it at all, you already knew this, which means you chose to be deceptive. If you didn't, you chose willful ignorance.
