Re: Why does Wal-mart have to provide Insurance?

"lots of people don't have a sea of choices when looking for employment, and take what they can get".

Agreed.

By the same token, lots of people, low wager earners and not, also need to recognize this situation - life without medical insurance, for the potential gift horse that it is. As far as disease and illness goes, situations that drive people away from the fraud and hazards of the present allopathic health care industry, their sanctioned serial killer MDs, and their brethern parasitic health insurance providers, are all good things in my opinion, if people would only stop to gather their senses long enought to realize this. Employer doesn't offer you medical insurance? - a blessing in disguise, they are actually doing you a favor by making it more difficult for you to end up in front of an establishment-licensed practictioner! While this situation should naturally put more onus on people to react by taking more responsibility for their own health, lifestyle, and planning for the eventual necessity of treating their ills......heaven forbid, they may even learn along the way that not every sniffle, cough, tummy ache and mild fever is reason for major treatment with drugs and expensive procedures applied by well-healed "doctors" (they may also even be forced to re-discover some of the many lost and long forgotten natural methods and remedies in the process!), the thoroughness by which the average person has been conditioned by society unfortunately leads them to instead react by seeking and demanding health advice, treatment, and funding of treatment from somebody else, like the establishment.
