Then what are all the ads about Wallmart and their health insurance?

Yeah...all the Wal-Mart bashers will say that charging their employees (a good friend of mine works there) $18 every 2 weeks for full health/dental ins is disgusting.

Blue Cross with varied deductibles that the employee can choose from for full timers. Part time employees have a different insurance available if they want it.

Some times they can get state insurance free so they go for the free ride instead of paying. Just like in other companies!

Go back to DU... WalMart is an employer. Who said employers have a requirement to meet all of their employees' personal needs. They are running a business. Something, I'll bet you could never do...

I watched an interview with their CEO. He almost made the stztement that taking care of Americans was more important, right now, than the companies profits! His only waffle was that he hoped the investors felt the same!

I talk with the young man, with cerebral palsy, who greets me at the door in Martinsburg. I constantly speak with the girls in the Deli dept, and the sporting goods dept., and none of them seem to be complaining.

I guess you know more about them, than they do!
