"More than 600,000 Wal-Mart workers are not covered by the company's health care plan. Poverty level wages combined with high deductibles, costly premiums and strict eligibility requirements force tens of thousands of Wal-Mart's workers, spouses and dependents onto public health care programs designed for needy families and children."

What they fail to mention is the fact that most of those workers are part time students and retirees. I don't know of any company that provides those benefits to part timers.

What a totally politically motivated, slanted piece of garbage this bill is.

My thoughts exactly. If anything, this is a waste of taxpayer time and money.
