Goodwin, L., “Senator Probing ‘Mini-Med’ Insurance Plans,”
The Upshot, October 1,
2010. (During the hearings Senator Rockefeller stated to the BCS representative: “Your company is apparently spending a significantly lower percentage of McDonald's employees” health care premiums on their medical care than the benchmarks established in ACA. If this is the case, McDonald's hourly wage workers are setting aside portions of their paychecks for an insurance product that may not be providing them a good value.” “In addition to spending an insufficient portion of their premium dollars on medical care, the products BCS is selling to McDonald's employees are not likely to protect them against the costs of a major health care episode. The $2,000 maximum annual coverage you apparently offer in your McDonald's ‘Basic Plan’ would not come close to covering the costs of hospital emergency services or the delivery of a child.”)
