Thread Name: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
I Never said it was. I don't have any information on other employers in Maryland. Do you?

Why do you refuse to look at percentages? All of the employees are paying taxes to the state to help pay for the state health insurance.

Take West Va for example,. Walmart employs 11450 people, 10998 of which are not using state health care. Asplundh employs 1100 people 954 of which are not using state healthcare. Therefore Walmart is subsiding the healthcare expenses of Asplundh and lesser companies that have a higher percentage of employees using sate health care. In this example Walmart is beneficial to the state in helping pay for healthcare expenses of the employees of other companies. If Walmart was suddenly not "there" the costs to the state would increase because of less taxes coming from the Walmart employees.

If only evil organizations have people on state healthcare, why is the state and the USPS high on the lists? In WV at least part of the USPS is unionized.

To save health care expenses for any state. it is only logical that the state should go after the organizations with the highest percentages of employees using state health insurance.

Still I haven't seen any answers to my questions, just heckling and false acusations.
