Walmart- Evil Empire

Today I read a story, yes I know it's old, about Debbie Shank. The story is tragic. A woman working at Walmart. She is in a terrible accident and is now mentally and physically handicapped. After years they are awarded one million dollars. Equaling a little under $500,000 after fees are paid. Walmart takes this money from them. It is taken because of the fine print in their insurance plan. Like Walmart needs the money. This woman can't work ever again. Walmart a multi billion dollar company hurts this woman to recoup a small amount of money comparatively. I know that this is just part of their health care plan, but the point is that they make such revenue they could have a much better plan. They could take care of their employees and provide them with a really great plan.
