McDonald's denies report of dropping health care

[Swede]

The fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's Corp. has denied a report that it's considering dropping health care coverage for some employees in response to a health care reform provision.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that McDonald's, the world's largest hamburger chain, has warned regulators it could drop its plan for some 30,000 workers unless the government waives a new requirement in the health care overhaul. The paper cited a memo from McDonald's to federal officials.

3. Well I wonder how many votes that will be worth

I heard it reported on the TV and radio all day. They talked about it on a local talk show today
