Why do you think Wal-Mart is siding with Obama on government controlled health care?
mackie asked:
I think Wal-Mart will find it is cheaper to pay the government penalty for not providing health insurance to their employees,and they can tell their employee’s to go to the government for health insurance,just like they told them to go to the government for supplement welfare and Medicaid.They will no longer have to deal with the employee insurance issue.

It will save them money. This really doesn’t need an explanation.
Walmart doesn’t give a rat about their employees.

Speculation is it was a back room deal. Support government health care and the card check union program gets put on the back burner.
As others have said it helps walmart by forcing their competitors to increase their expenses. Sad part is dofus walmartians will not realize they are paying more for retail items to cover the cost.

Walmart already provides health insurance for 80% of their employees. The other 20% are covered by a spouse’s plan or are part time workers. If the government forces employers to provide insurance it won’t change things much for Walmart. It will make the cost of employees much more expensive for many small retailers and force them to raise their prices even higher. That will make Walmart prices lower by a bigger margin and force more of the competition out of business. As a small business owner I told my employees that they would be facing a $7.00 per hour pay cut if I have to start buying their health insurance. If I have to buy coverage for their whole family I will fire all of them and become a one man show.
