Wal-Mart cuts health benefits for part timers and raises premiums
Wal-Mart Stores Inc scales back health care coverage for future part-time workers and raises premiums for many full-time workers, including tobacco users. The company cites rising health care costs and says the change affects workers under 24 hours weekly while halving its contribution to coverage for those already insured. Greg Rossiter, Wal Mart spokesperson, says the move is not a response to new health care law but to costs.
