want Wal-Mart to pay? Come on DU help hold them accountable.

[Vincardog]

Today, Senator Kennedy, Senator Corzine and Congressman Anthony Weiner will hold a press conference with Joe Hansen, President of the United Food & Commercial Workers announcing the introduction of the Health Care Accountability Act (HCAA). The Act will help determine the extent to which taxpayers are subsidizing the health care costs of our nation's largest employers. Most importantly, this legislation marks the beginning of our campaign to make Wal-Mart pay its fair share for health care.

The power you have to change Wal-Mart and hold large, profitable corporations accountable is amazing. Last week, Wal-Mart announced it is hiring 14 new high-priced lobbyists to counter your efforts. But, here's the truth! No amount of money can ever compete with the American people.

8. They are not doing anything illegal, its just that taxpayers shouldn't

have to pay for Wal-Mart's health care program. Wal-Mart should stop their practice of having their employment offices train their employees to sign up for Medicaid. We pay for Medicaid. If Wal-Mart wants to offer their employees heath care coverage, then they should pay for it and not shove it off on us.

There should be a law. That's what this is all about.
