More on Target's decision to stop offering health insurance to part-time workers
Target will stop providing health coverage to its part-time workers on April 1.
The company said it made the decision because those workers can now buy insurance on the health exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act and that offering them insurance could make many part-time workers ineligible for federal subsidies that could reduce their cost of coverage.
Steve Parente, finance professor at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, joined MPR News' Tom Crann to discuss the move. Click on the audio link above to hear the conversation.
