RSS FeedMaryland lawmakers force Wal-Mart to pay more for health benefits
Submitted by Henry Poole on January 13, 2006 - 3:25pm.
Overriding Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s veto, lawmakers yesterday made Maryland the first state in the nation to require a private company to provide a minimum level of health benefits for its employees.
Supporters hailed the vote as a victory for working people who can't afford health insurance.
"Fair share health care is going to sweep the nation!" said Vinnie DeMarco, president of the Maryland Citizens' Health Initiative, a group that has been lobbying for universal health care. Scores of states across the nation are considering similar bills.
