I did not see this last September... but here is something of a surprise (at least to me).

Forbes
9/15/13

Quote:
Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest employer, announced Monday that
35,000 part-time employees will soon be moved to full-time status,
entitling them to the full health care benefits that were scheduled to be denied them
as a result of Wal-Mart’s efforts to avoid the requirements of Obamacare.


While some analysts believe that the move comes as Wal-Mart is attempting to deal
with the negative view many Americans have of its worker benefits program,
a closer look reveals the real reason for the shift—

Wal-Mart’s business is going south due to the company’s penchant for putting politics
and the squeeze on Wal-Mart employees ahead of the kind of customer satisfaction
that produces prosperity over the long-term.<snip>

The result?
Empty shelves, ridiculously long check-out lines, helpless customers
wandering through the electronics section and general disorganization at Wal-Mart store locations.
I'll count each of those 35k improved health care plans indirect WIN's for the A.C.A.
