Where do you get the information that Wal-Mart does not make health
Insurance available to its employees? Here in Florida Wal-Mart uses Blue
Cross, Blue Shield of Florida and Delta dental. Some of the employees do opt
out because they don't want it unless it's free. To be eligible you must be
employed there 6 months if full time, 2 years if part time.
Maybe you better go down to your local hospital and ask the people waiting
if they are really Wal-Mart employees or just pretending to be. One other
thing Wal-Mart does not employ illegal immigrants, they require proof of
citizenship or a green card. However if you eat any fruit grown in this
country there is a real likelihood that it was picked by someone *illegal.*
