I was thinking something similar when an article was quoted that said 15% are getting medical aid...

How many hours per week are those people working, how long have they been working for Wallmart, how old are they?

Example: a single mother who can only work part-time at the cash register, would she be part of that 15%?

Not to mention the 65 year old greeters who are generally already on medicaid anyways and can only work so many hours per week to keep their benefits.
