Last year, Wal-Mart made over $11 billion in profits. So why should your hard-earned tax dollars foot the bill for their employees’ health care costs while Wal-Mart gets yet another tax break?

Fewer than 50% of employees opt-in to Wal-Mart’s health care program because it is too expensive and inaccessible? As a result, many Wal-Mart employees are forced to enroll in Medicaid.

That’s right. Wal-Mart is driving its employees to use a publicly funded health care program – placing a huge burden on employees and state tax systems. New research revealed last week shows that Wal-Mart has been rigging the system to skip out on $2.3 billion in state taxes—so that money comes from your precious tax dollars, not Wal-Mart’s.

It’s time to end this corporate welfare and hold Wal-Mart accountable. Your representatives in the state legislature have a responsibility to find out just how much Wal-Mart relies on publicly funded health care. Send a message to your representatives urging them to do their homework and find out how much Wal-Mart’s penny-pinching business practices cost your state.
