UPS won’t insure spouses of many employees

UPS won’t insure spouses of many employees. “You can keep your health plan!” Well, how about “You can keep your health plan!” ….but your wife can’t!

  • After everything is said and done, UPS clears about $5 billion a year. If they're going to start sending spouses to Obamacare, what are the companies who clear less than $5 billion a year going to do?

  • Remember the ad against Romney where the union guy 'blamed' Romney for the death of his wife after Romney closed the plant the guy worked at and they lost their insurance. Never mind the story was complete BS.

    You think we'll see similar reports from the media about Obamacare killing people?

    Wait for it, wait for it...

    • Not to worry. UPS is Teamster country. Surely they can put a call in to the WH and get UPS shut down for racial discrimination or something.

    • To be fair, they're only cutting them off if they have insurance available at their job.
      How they will find this out, I don't know.

      • My employer put this policy into place five years ago. Pisses a lot of people off at the lower levels where it is often a $200 or $300 hit per month. How they find out is that everyone is required to sign off on a statement confirming whether or not a spouse has access to health insurance through his or her employee. No one is going to lie and risk termination.

        • My wife had insurance at her current employer, but no spouse option. They are a small company and a non-profit. They cancelled all insurance and will not be offering it again.

  • The first of many private companies. Wait and see if UPS and FedX cut all the temp hours back to less than 25.

    Yep told us all he was going to fundamentally change America and all the fools thought it would be for their best. Fools all.

  • Like no one noticed he told us he was gonna do all this before he was elected. WTF do people think fundamental change is?????? ITs OK HES A GREAT SPEAKER!
