I'm sorry but I never heard Jesus speak as to health benefits other then to raise the dead and make the blind see. I don't have another opinion on his feelings about health care. I have little doubt that you do though. I am sure though that Wallmart would love to have him running their health care. With that aside is this something Sam dreamt up? This health care thing? Sears or Kmart hadn't thought of it first had they? Or any other store you shop at or can think of? And I think Jesus would agree with me that in a country that is very, very wealthy, there is no reason at all that everyone should not have excellent health care benefits. We have the best health care in the world. You and your ilk confuse health care with health insurance. Show me one poor person with no health care, ONE. Not someone without insurance. Listen to me!!!!! One person without health care. I knew you wouldn't be able to. Sad that you keep buying the BS, truly.

I believe Wal-Mart deliberately ensures that most of its workers do not work fulltime, because it is trying to get out of paying good benefits. Facts. You might actually have a chance in one of these debates if you knew what you were talking about. "74 percent of its employees work full time, compared with fewer than 40 percent at many other retailers." nytimes.com

Like several other volume retailers, I believe Wal-Mart deliberately ensures that most of its workers do not work fulltime, because it is trying to get out of paying good benefits. The last time I checked, an employer was allowed to set the terms and conditions under which it employs workers. If the workers disagree with those terms and conditions, they can organize and join a union and negotiate a collective bargaining agreement.
