Papa John Caves In! States He Will Honor “Obamacare” And Give Health Insurance To Employees
Feeling the heat from plans of avoiding giving health insurance to full-time employees working 30 hours or more by cutting employees’ hours because he can’t afford the costs of health insurance, Papa John’s CEO and multimillionaire John Schnatter wrote an op-ed which was published in The Huffington Post on Tuesday, “suggesting” that his intentions regarding the implementation of The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) for Papa John’s employees was all a misunderstanding and that he plans to provide health care benefits to all of his corporate employees along with all employees working in his company owned stores.
Papa John’s, like most businesses, is still researching what the Affordable Care Act means to our operations. Regardless of the conclusion of our analysis, we will honor this law, as we do all laws, and continue to offer 100% of Papa John’s corporate employees and workers in company-owned stores health insurance as we have since the company was founded in 1984.”
Good news if true. For both for his employees and his business considering the ongoing boycott. But I for one will wait to see what happens before and what his franchises do including Peyton Manning who owns 21 Papa John’s locations and see if they announce their intention to provide health insurance to 100 percent of the employees in their respective pizza operations before i call this a true victory.
But it is nice to see that Schnatter feeling the heat and that real Americans, ones who care about their fellow citizens were able to stand up and make him take notice over his ivy covered mansion walls. It would help if American were not lied to about how other places in the world operate their health insurances, the e111 benefits are huge, we need to wake up.
Choke on that pizza GOP, Tea Party and Breitbart loons.
