Health care should not be tied to employment. Businesses acting as the government's tax collector is one thing... now they have to be the insurance industry's collector too? Insurance is a joke. Pool everyone's money together so that nobody can collect! Deny every claim and make people sue for their money. Awful.
Walmart does have some leveraged negotiating power with employees since other businesses tend to go out of business in smaller communities. Employees can't choose to work elsewhere when their old jobs all died out. In major cities tho, pff, 15 bucks an hour is insane. I don't think people understand economics. If you get a 50% pay increase... then other businesses will need to charge more and pay their employees more... and your bills will go up.
