More bad press for Wally World

Following on the heels of Walmart's recent offensive against mounting criticism and backlash of its policies, here is more bad news about the "evil empire". Walmart often talks about it offering health benefits to its employees realtively cheaply, but this story contradicts some of that. Some of what is mentioned, such as having to wait six months for insurance if full time is not necessarily that different than other companies, they may be getting picked on a little bit there. But some of it might be legit as well. The article deals with how much some states have to pay to foot the bill for workers who cannot afford health care through wal mart. That by itself can be misleading since Wal mart employs more than anyone and there are no comparisons to other companies, but still the numbers are big.
