Wal-Mart Backs Employer Health Ins.

Wal-Mart Stores says it supports healthcare reform that will require employers to provide health insurance to employees. Most larger firms are against this, so Wal-Mart is setting itself apart from the trend.
Under the new healthcare legislation that is being considered, “lawmakers have proposed mandating that all but small employers provide insurance for workers or help pay for” the 46 million uninsured people in the U.S.
I have to wonder if other firms will follow this lead, and vocally support employer mandated healthcare like Wal-Mart?
