I have found this opinion common among people, but rarely is it voiced online:
If Wal-Mart employees think they should receive health care benefits, here's a crazy thought, go on strike. One of two things will happen. Either Wal-Mart will realize it much provide its employees with health care benefits to keep them happy or they will find new employees who don't give a crap whether or not they have health care, they just want a paycheck. There's a reason Wal-Mart is able to keep over 10,000 employees without providing any of them with health care benefits, the employees don't care. It's not Wal-Mart's fault that you're so poorly equipped yourself for the outside world that working at Wal-Mart is the best gig you could get. You want health care, make yourself a more marketable employee and quit working at Wal-Mart.Apparently, Chris doesn't realize the large number of Wal-Mart employees (probably ~40% of 10,000) who use the company's health insurance, which is essentially a catastrophic care program with other non-catastrophic benefits.
