Where do you get the information that Wal-Mart does not make health
Insurance available to its employees?

According to a news article in last week's paper- that insurance costs
$250 a
month
(which is a heck of a lot of you're grossing
$1200 and taking home $950)- and carries a $3000 deductible.

If so, must be underwritten by Middle Finger Life and Casualty

25% of your take home pay for health insurance, and 25% of your annual
income
for deductible. Nice.

In all fairness, Chuck, the cost of buying your own Blue Choice policy here
(Rochester) is about $6-7k per year. I imagine it's not much different
elsewhere. Sounds like WM is splitting the cost with the employees. Plenty
of employers do that. My ex works for a non-profit which only picks up about
20% of the BC tab.
