Why should competing retailers be forced to help keep Wal-Mart's prices down by paying taxes to support the medicaid program?

The fault lies with the medicaid program, not Wallmart. Any company has a right to take full advantage of all aspects of the law to get an advantage on its competitor. Taxpayers should be outraged that people on medicaid are working at wallmart and demand it be abolished. This is another example of a failed welfare policy.
Wallmart will then have to either offer health care, or the workers will go to a job that does offer it, or will choose not to have health care or rely on some other charitable org.
