    pretty interesting considering wal mart has made insurance for their employees so unaffordable that they recommend their employees try and get government assistance.

    If there's a govt. plan and its cheap, WM could lower their cost. If they provide insurance today and some of their competitors don't, then if it was required, their competitors cost goes up and it weakens the competitor. I'm sure they are only thinking of their bottom line...
