McDonald's says it may drop healthcare benefits
The fast-food giant says it may cut insurance for nearly 30,000 hourly workers because of a requirement in the new healthcare law.

McDonald's Corp. may cut health insurance for nearly 30,000 hourly workers in the U.S. unless federal regulators waive a requirement of the new healthcare law.

The restaurant chain is at odds over the law's stipulation that "mini-med" insurance plans, which provide limited benefits, spend at least 80% of premium revenue on medical care, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a company memo.

McDonald's told federal regulators it would be "economically prohibitive" for its insurance carrier to continue to cover hourly workers unless it receives a waiver excluding it from the 80% requirement, the memo said.

Many McDonald's hourly workers are covered by mini-med policies, for which they pay weekly fees of up to $32 for benefits capped at as much as $10,000 annually, the Journal reported.

The article quoted a Department of Health and Human Services official as saying the government does not want employers to drop coverage because of the law.

Maybe McDo's could only hire folks on Medi-Care or Medic-Aide, eh?

Short timer and Andy Griffith could go flip burgers and scratch their butts at the same time. "Would you like fries with that, or a hot apple pie today?"

Koo Koo Katchoo......folks seek out McDo's........they enter the restaurant of their own free will and accord......no salesmanship required. They don't earn a living on commission.

How's the bone bidness?
