So Walgreen's is going to start paying for a plan which is even more expensive than the plan Walgreen's is paying for currently?What you are missing is they are being forced out of their current insurance plan due to rising cost that Obama care was supposed to stop.
Are you sure about that?
In my anecdotal experience, companies often take measures, like switching insurance providers, in efforts to save money.
Perhaps Walgreen's determined that it could better control costs by sending the employee's there and that is why Walgreen's chose to do it this way. Perhaps Walgreen's did not decide to spend extra money when they did not have to.
Just bringing up the possibility.

I see no reason to think that Walgreen's has been denied the opportunity to keep their current insurance provider.What you are missing is Obama promised you could keep your insurance on his plan. What you are missing is this is exactly what "crazy right wingers" predicted would happen.
The comments from Walgreen's seem to say as much.
I suspect that Obama never said that Obamacare would keep the company you work for from switching insurance providers.
