Default Re: MoveOn.org is going after Wal-Mart

As far as I could tell, study that Selena linked to doesn't distinguish between full and part-time workers, nor does it provide any kind of age breakdown for the data.

It's still sobering reading for those who give a rat's ass about things like people having healthcare. In most of the states listed in the study, Walmart is the largest employer with employees participating in state-funded healthcare programs (larger in California than McDonalds). In most of these states Walmart is reaping millions of dollars in tax benefits at the same time.

You WILL pay for healthcare for the poor. You will pay it in taxes (Medicaid costs), you will pay it in higher direct care costs or you will pay it in your insurance rates (as hospitals and health care providers pass on losses to the folks with the ability to pay.

Granted - there could be more information in the study. Like I said, however, it still paints a pretty grim picture.
