Senator Presses for Information From Health Insurer Used by McDonalds
Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV is seeking more information about the health insurance policies sold to nearly 30,000 employees of McDonald’s restaurants after a report suggested the company might drop the coverage unless regulators waived a requirement in the health care law.
Rockefeller, d-w.va., asked BCS Financial Corp., which provides insurance to hourly wage McDonald’s employees, for details about its coverage plans by Oct. 15. He expressed concern the employees may be “setting aside portions of their paychecks for an insurance product that may not be providing them a good value.”
