Wal-Mart and public assistance
According to a study done by Good Jobs First, Wal-Mart tops the list in 12 of 13 states where there is data for the number of employees it has on public assistance for health care.
That means YOU -- the American taxpayer -- are paying for Wal-Mart's health care costs. The estimated total amount of federal assistance for which Wal-Mart employees were eligible in 2004 was $2.5 billion. Does it seem fair that we are picking up the tab for a company with $10 billion in profits?
