At the end of 2005, Wal-Mart ranked #2 on the Fortune 500 with sales of
$312 billion and net profits of $11.2 billion, and was America's largest employer with 1.39 million workers. Despite obscene profits, Wal-Mart fails to provide company health care to over 775,000 of its employees (57%), leaving nearly 1 out of every 2 children of its workers either uninsured or on public assistance at an annual cost to taxpayers of $1.4 billion.
Wal-Mart ranks #1, among all companies in America, with the highest total number of employees without company health care insurance and is the #1 abuser of taxpayer funded public health care in 18 of the 19 states where statewide data has been reported.
It's time to stop the Wal-Mart health care crisis and make our nation's largest employer pay its fair share for health care. You have the power to stop corporate abuse, hold Wal-Mart accountable and improve health care for millions of workers by sending a letter to your state's Governor.
Help change Wal-Mart and build a better America.
