Wal-Mart plans to cut health care = premiums

Posted by the Asbury = Park=20 Press on 10/25/05

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENTONVILLE, = Ark. =97=20 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Monday it is launching a plan to = lower=20 health-insurance premiums for workers, allowing some to buy = coverage=20 for as little as $11 per month.

The world's largest retailer has been under criticism for = not=20 offering health coverage to enough workers and for high = costs to=20 employees who are eligible for insurance. Wal-Mart's critics = have=20 worked to demonstrate that some company workers have had to = rely on=20 government-funded programs to pay for health care.

Wal-Mart spokesman Dan Fogleman would not say how much = the plan=20 would cost the company, which has 1.2 million domestic = employees.=20 The plan is to go into effect in 2006.

Wal-Mart said the new plan was not a response to the = mounting=20 criticism from outside but instead reflected demands for = more=20 coverage options from its employees, who it calls = associates.

Wal-Mart's opponents were not impressed, dismissing the = plan as a=20 publicity stunt.

Wake-Up Wal-Mart, a union-backed group that is organizing = campaigns against the retailer, said the new plan was just a = repackaging of Wal-Mart's existing coverage.

"Wal-Mart fails to address the key reasons more than half = of its=20 employees aren't covered under their health care plan =97 = ridiculously=20 high deductible costs and overly strict eligibility = requirements,"=20 Wake-Up Wal-Mart campaign director Paul Blank said in a news = release.

Monthly premiums under the new plan would require workers = to pay=20 between 40 percent and 60 percent less than under the = current plan.=20 The plan would have a $1,000 deductible but would allow = individuals=20 three doctor visits before having to pay the deductible, = according=20 to The New York Times, which first reported the plan.

The company said the plan would emphasize preventative = care and=20 workers would be able to pay into tax-deductible health = savings=20 accounts.
