I work for Target, in Canada, and you can get basic care for about $30/month. It’s affordable for pretty much everybody.
Why is that surprising? Corporations maximize profits by cutting costs.
Most companies would love to dump health care - this will be hitting many employees - even full time ones within the next few years.
I work at a facility that is turning every full time job into two part time jobs. I foresee this happening this autumn when the new calendar year occurs.
If that’s a $500 annual payment...that stinks.
If it’s $500 per month...that’s $6000 a year before the employee even clocks in.
Talk about wealth redistribution.
The plans offered to part-timers typically have very restricted benefits, and a relatively low lifetime cap.
No doubt now illegal under the ACA.
Though it is better than nothing, which, given the rates in the exchanges, most part-time retail workers are likely to have.
BWAHAHAHA!! Thanks for my first laugh of the day.

That was Portugal’s solution to high unemployment in the 1970s, as they tried to absorb the citizens returning from the African colonies they gave up. 40 years later, and they still have high unemployment...
IOW obamacare is working as planned.
IOOW “What difference does it make now?”
Part time employee is 30hr/wk x @9/hr = 14040/year. That is 122% of poverty level and you can get Medicaid in many states.
