Wal-Mart workers dipping heavily into CHIP to insure kids
MySA.com: Metro | State: "One of the richest companies in the world also has more employees enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program than any other Texas employer.
That means taxpayers are subsidizing Wal-Mart, said state Rep Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio.
'The numbers don't lie. It's a problem,' he said.
The numbers also show most of the top 10 employers whose workers enrolled their kids in the CHIP program last year are school districts, led by Houston's."
As a school teacher, I find this absolutely repugnant. When are we going to require a living wage?
