Wal-Mart and Health insurance


According to the author, these days Wal-Mart has an insurance problem. There is a memo which summarized what Wal-Mart did. This means the memo has everything about Wal-Mart. According to the president, M. Susan Chambers, these days the memo makes clear about Wal-Mart’s health insurance and it is a serious reputation issue, she said. Because Wal-Mart is a big company, many small companies will follow what Wal-Mart does. That is a reason Wal-Mart has to make sure what is good for their worker for health insurance. There are several problems about Wal-Mart’s health insurance. About half of the children whose parents work in Wal-Mart are uninsured or rely on the government, and about 20 percent of workers in Wal-Mart even do not have health insurance. Moreover, Wal-Mart is required to give lots of money to disabled people and sick people. These are problems that Wal-Mart has. In addition, the most serious problem is that Wal-Mart does not care about what they did. They just worry about money. In conclusion, what the author saying is that government and labor need to work together and they need to discipline Wal-Mart.

Of course, I disagree with what Wal-Mart did. I plan on writing that there are three things that Wal-Mart has to do.

First, Wal-Mart has to reduce the price of health insurance for people who do not have a the ability to pay for health insurance, such as sick people, handicapped people, and so on. In addition, Wal-Mart has to support people with money. It is an important thing because there may many people who rely on Wal-Mart for health insurance. If Wal-Mart does not give any benefit to worker, they will leave Wal-Mart then it will not be a good thing for Wal-Mart.

Second, Wal-Mart has to raise its up stipend instead of having unfair health insurance. It just one way to satisfy people who retuned back unfair health insurance. That meaning is Wal-Mart has to compensate for people. If Wal-Mart does not do anything for people, many workers will leave from Wal-Mart.

Last, according to the article, there are 20 percent of people who cannot get health care. Also Wal-Mart has to compensate people who cannot have health insurance. For example, they could make a good thing which could make people agree with it. In addition, people who do not have health insurance have to require health insurance of Wal-Mart. If they have some accident without health insurance, it is not only the fault of Wal-Mart but also there is a responsibility to people who do not have health insurance. However, his problem should be fixed by Wal-Mart and they need to have some benefit for people related to Wal-Mart’s fault.

In conclusion, for Wal-Mart’s entire fault, Wal-Mart has to try to make people satisfied from another benefit. If Wal-Mart cannot find the way, they have to try to find it.
