I think many states are going to follow this. Score one against the evil Wal-Mart!

If they worded it as "all large employers" then I'm ok with it, but if they singled out Wal-Mart...can't that be considered unconstitutional for singling a group out? I agree it's great...as long as it stays in tact. |

After reading it I have determined what happened. The bill makes all companies that employ 10k+ Maryland workers has to pay at least 8% in health care costs, either directly or to the state's health care fund. Only one employer of that magnitude didn't do that: Wal-Mart. This bill just makes that payment by all companies law, but really only effects Wal-Mart because they didn't already do it. |

Alright, so it's fine then. Wal-Mart will try to sue anyways, but it won't win. |

I'm sure they will, and I hope they won't. And according to APM's Marketplace Maryland has four companies that fall under the law. Wal-Mart is the only one not paying. |
