I don't know about your company but a lot of companies, I know of Mcdonalds, Microsoft, and the big three auto manufactures, are exempt from that part of the law. At least that was the big to do when they were debating the law.

You are correct Microsoft is not on the list. I was going from memory.

The big three don't get the "waiver" directly the union does. and they get a waiver because the union provides a "suitable alternative" to the healthcare act.

I don't understand all the detail and am not trying too.

Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions then. If the unions are exempt, that's not the same as the company. That's how rumors start and give the wrong people a bad name. Quit doing that. That's how the media got the term "Assault Rifle"

My point is still the same there is a large list of companies/unions that are exempt from the law.

You called out specific companies that weren't on the list trying to make them look bad. Words have meaning.
