Dimwit, its not pride. Walmart doesn't provide health insurance. Its been accused of costing California X dollars because of this. It merely seeks to show the number is actually lower since many employees don't need health insurance- having it from somewhere else.
This is a chicken or egg question. there are other retailers that provided health insurance. Many of them have gone out of business since shoppers go to the cheapest alternative. By going to the cheapest alternative they cause the store to cut what it can. You can't be the cheapest if you have to pay $15K in health insurance for unskilled jobs. I am not oblivious to the pain such an equation causes, but it's math- cold and hard.
How many of you drive foreign cars?
