Rather clever of Wal-Mart to shift the cost of maintaining a healthy workforce onto a public good. Kind of like planting my marijuana plants in a national wildlife refuge to save the fixed costs of land purchase.

Kind of, except that we (that is, the U.S. government) set up Medicaid specficially for people who do not have the means, for whatever reason, to afford their own medical insurance. If you care to use a victory garden to cultivate your own stash, go right ahead.
