I wonder how many of these part-time workers voted for Obama?
Universal Orlando
plans to stop offering medical insurance to part-time employees
beginning next year, a move the resort says has been forced by the
federal government's health-care overhaul.
The giant theme-park resort, which generates more than $1 billion in
annual revenue, began informing employees this month that it will offer
health-insurance to part-timers "only until December 31, 2013."
The reason: Universal currently offers part-time workers a limited
insurance plan that has low premiums but also caps the payout of
benefits. For instance, Universal's plan costs about $18 a week for
employee-only coverage but covers only a maximum of $5,000 a year toward
hospital stays. There are similar caps for other services.
Those types of insurance plans — sometimes referred to as "mini-med" plans — will no longer be permitted under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Beginning in 2014, the law will prohibit insurance plans that impose
annual monetary limits on essential medical care such, as
hospitalization, or on overall spending.
