Wal-Mart
The Md. Senate overrides the Governor’s veto of the “Wal-Mart” Bill.
This bill will require companies with more than 10,000 Maryland employees to spend at least 8 percent of their payroll on employee health care or pay the difference into the state’s Medicaid fund. Wal-Mart, with 17,000 employees is the only business in the state that will have to comply with this law.
What do you think? As a generally rule, I believe in limited government regulation in business operations. However, sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. I agree that the exectutive team at Wal-mart have an obligation to their shareholder’s to maximize profit but it cannot be done at the expense of it’s workers. Anyone who is working a full-time job for the biggest employer in the world should be able to afford access to health insurance without having to rely on the state Medicaid fund.
Contact Walmart to let them know what you think.
