Think about this next time you run to Wal-Mart for that worthless, cheap pair of sneakers and a case of rot-gut Soda:
Montgomery, Ala. – Retail giant Wal-Mart tops the list of companies in Alabama that have employees with children on the state health care program
for uninsured children funded by Medicaid, the Associated Press reported today. Alabama joins a growing list of states reporting Wal-Mart as the #1 or
a top corporate beneficiary of its public health program.
“Despite the fact that Wal-Mart makes enormous corporate profits, the company is stingy when it comes to its employees’ health care benefits,”
said AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney. “When its employees must join public health rolls instead of getting affordable health care on the job,
Wal-Mart is shifting the cost to taxpayers. That’s simply wrong.”

And that is a shame. Wal-Mart has become like the "Retail Branch" of Government now, and it's sad what it does to communities.
