[Vision2020] Walmart

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

I just saw on the news (and I missed most of the details because I was  doing 
other things at the same time) that a state has passed legislation  requiring 
Walmart to carry health insurance for it's workers in that state.  Maybe we 
need to lobby the state to do something similar. Certainly the facts  about how 
many current Walmart employees in Moscow use the county indigent  health care 
system and how many qualify for food stamps are relevant information  because 
we all pay for those services. I suspect when all is said and done we'll  
find that Walmart's low prices are a sham and that the additional cost of to the  
public of supporting the store exceeds the benefits of the low prices. Since 
I  have not seen any actual analyses I could be wrong.
