I know that if someone in Illinois has medicaid pay their hospital bills and then receives a settlement through the courts there is a lien filed on that settlement so that the state can recoup whatever funds were paid out. As much as I sympathize with this family as to their situation I can see why Wal-Mart expects the contract that was signed by this lady to be honored.

I don't know if Walmart has separate insurance provider(s) but if Walmart did not seek to recoup the costs as provided for in the employee's policy, it would be bad business. Insurance providers in the future would have no reason to trust Walmart, or would raise their rates for employess. Bad situation for Walmart.
