Does anyone remember this Obama worshiper from the campaign trail? He's a Mc Donalds worker who is very exccited to get to ask The One a question...
Now Julio was told a couple of lies by his Messiah. First, he was told his taxes would go down, but with the impending tax increases due to the expiring of the Bush Tax Cuts, that will not be the case for Julio, his taxes will go up. Obama also told him that he was going to give him affordable health care coverage.
Now we jump to this story:

McDonald's Corp. may cut health insurance for nearly 30,000 hourly workers in the U.S. unless federal regulators waive a requirement of the new healthcare law.
The restaurant chain is at odds over the law's stipulation that "mini-med" insurance plans, which provide limited benefits, spend at least 80% of premium revenue on medical care, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a company memo.
McDonald's told federal regulators it would be "economically prohibitive" for its insurance carrier to continue to cover hourly workers unless it receives a waiver excluding it from the 80% requirement, the memo said.
Many McDonald's hourly workers are covered by mini-med policies, for which they pay weekly fees of up to $32 for benefits capped at as much as $10,000 annually, the Journal reported.
The article quoted a Department of Health and Human Services official as saying the government does not want employers to drop coverage because of the law.

So there is your answer, Julio! You are going to lose the health care coverage you had, and be forced to go on government health care. Hope you enjoy that better!
