Wal-Mart Sues Brain-Damaged Worker

Link From an article by James Parks:

...The company, which earned $2.9 billion last quarter, sued a former employee who suffered permanent brain damage in a car accident to get back $470,000 it spent on her medical bills.
Here’s the story. The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reported yesterday that Deborah Shank, 52, who stocked shelves in Wal-Mart’s store in Cape Girardieu, Mo., was broadsided by a tractor-trailer seven years ago, causing permanent brain damage. Unable to walk without help or communicate meaningfully with her family, she now lives in a nursing home.
Wal-Mart’s health insurance plan paid about $470,000 in medical expenses. But after the Shanks sued and settled with the trucking company, Wal-Mart sued the couple and demanded its money back, plus interest and legal fees—more than the $417,477 the settlement had placed in a special-needs Medicaid trust fund for Shank’s future health care expenses.
A federal judge ruled that Wal-Mart’s health care plan gave them first dibs on any money gained by an injured employee. Such provisions aren’t uncommon in health plans, and Wal-Mart isn’t the first to enforce one.
To add to the tragedy, shortly after the judge ruled against the Shanks, their son, Jeremy, was killed in Iraq. The Shanks have two other sons.

Maine: Fighting Its Way Out of the Big Box

Maine steps up to the plate. As our Federal Government sinks further into corruption and corporate lobbyists' pockets, I believe we will see more and more activism like this at the State level. WalMart, which on the surface looks like a good deal for consumers, is actually being subsidized by every taxpayer, every sweatshop laborer, and small business they've destroyed, every worker who is on some form of State Aid due to having no Health Insurance, and low wages. Are we really saving anything? Except for WalMart's bottom line? Lots of people think not.

Hillary sat on WalMart's board during Bill's tenure as Governor of Arkansas. According to Hillary, she 'enjoyed' her time there. In fact, she and Bill enjoyed themselves so much they enacted NAFTA, just so good ol' Union-hating WalMart could do biz more efficiently. Michelle Obama just resigned a highly-paid position with one of its suppliers.
