Thank God for hearing the cry of the oppressed.
"But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."--Amos 5:24 ESV

are they still "evil"

Of course they are. Even when they do right, they are evil because they are capitalists and we all know capitalists are evil. Evil. EVIL I SAY!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAH!

here is the article.

A former Wal-Mart employee who suffered severe brain damage in a traffic accident won't have to pay back the company for the cost of her medical care, Wal-Mart told the family Tuesday.

They don't have to pay it back...

Wal-Mart's health care plan lets the retail giant recoup the cost of its expenses if an employee collects damages in a lawsuit. And Wal-Mart set out to do just that after Shank and her husband, Jim, won $1 million after suing the trucking company involved in the wreck. After legal fees, the couple received $417,000.

What's $1 million minus $417,000? $583,000

The lawyers did a great job.... Then left them to have to pay Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart looks bad.....

another good point the lawyer knew how much they would get how come they were not aware of this plan? they had to be it is a clause of many plans...

why are people so eager to say evil, evil, when it comes to people or companies making money? bah.
I love our great REPUBLIC, and capitalistic society. If I didn't, I would use my AMERICAN rights to make enough money to move.

good for walmart for doing this!

whats up I and down for another buisness, and willing to be called evil some more Matter of fact i am planning another buisness besides the hardwood co. and I might have ot hire more people, man how evil i am

All I can say is "Praise the Lord" as the husband said....this is another case of "we the people" proving all the more that we can still stand up for what is right and be heard.

If we all refused to shop at every place that has something in it or about it that is EVIL....then we'd have to move to the woods, hunt deer, clear a field and grow crops, and produce EVERYTHING we need on our own. What store do you know that doesn't have something in it or about it that could be interpreted as EEEEVAIL!!

This was a wonderful thing for WalMart to do, and with the bad publicity it gave them, it was a good business choice, as well as being just a nice thing to do.

BUT

I disagree with the husband's statement that he was thankful WalMart saw their "error", Frankly the health insurance is set up that way for a reason, and it is fully legitimate. To take someone to court for injuries you sustained, and be given a large settlement, I am sure the cost of medical care was thrown around in there many times, and was considered in the amount of the settlement. So NOT using the money provided for that purpose would be dishonest. This had been through multiple courts, and while we all feel better that this poor woman has a few extra hundred thousand than she would have, it not going that way would have still been fair.

Now the insurance premiums for Walmart employees will go up as they change their policy to allow for more of this.

Pastorbill you have been added to our new buisness adventure, i would have rathered walmart make a charitable donation in that amount. But i am thankful for this family

God help me if I ever become so blinded by another ideology that I can't see injustice when it's clear in front of me.

I was actually expecting this (as I hinted at in my post in the other thread). and I too am thankful that the situation turned out this way, of course the accident to begin with and the ramifications remain a tragedy.

what injustice????????????????please explain

A disabled woman is robbed by her former employer of everything she had because they could legally do so. Her husband is forced to make the choice to divorice her so she can recieve more welfare benefits. And to top it off, her son is killed in Iraq which she unfortunately can not remember so she must be reminded every day that her son is dead. Yet it is insisted that Wal-Mart did no wrong! Don't we all face instances where we can legally do things but we don't for ethics sake? If you can't see this what is wrong with you?
