Review: I am a low-wage earner being squeezed out of health insurance by my employer. Universal healthcare is the answer.

Review: Much too little, much too late. I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart because of the way they have done business. When you treat my family and friends like dirt, you don't earn my loyalty.

Review: Wal-mart is the world's most toxic retailer!

Review: I can say, "Wal-Mart is something wonderful for me. I am very thankful for it. I have quite a stack of proof its' good and cheap, too. I can save a months prem. on one prescription. I pay $800 on a $41,000 hospital bill and I call that good.

Review: If you aren't happy working at Wal-Mart then go and get a job somewhere else. I'm sure there are plenty of other places that are hiring and you could fit in at one of those places.

Review: Will Wal-Mart do something equally crazy next, like paying people for all the hours they work?! What unimaginable generosity!

Review: 'Tis a pity when government coerces people or businesses. We have too much government at all levels, too little personal responsibilty. More government = less freedom.

Review: I think it is pretty cool that Wal-Mart is offering health insurance to their part-time employees! Better yet, their prescriptions, at only three bucks are so much cheaper than what I had at my last job! (Mine were $20.) Of course, depending on what they pay per month. I think that if companies out there follow suit, then Wal-Mart isn't so bad after all.

Review: Wal Mart is now on the General Motors path... paving the way for the next generation low-cost retailer.

Review: Kind of reminds me of Microsoft's futile attempts at a makeover. The DNA is greed, and you can't change the beast if you don't change the DNA. A coat of spray paint won't really change the leopard's spots, just cover them up. Ask the lady who was hired for a fitting room position at Wal-Mart how she enjoys unloading boxes from trucks during the night shift.... Betcha she's got no medical coverage while she totes that load.
