Wal Mart Medicaid Disclosure

[from Good Jobs First] [pic from reclaimdemocarcy.org]

The Arizona Department of Economic Security has just joined the list of state agencies that have disclosed the names of private-sector employers with the largest number of workers participating in publicly financed healthcare programs such as Medicaid and SCHIP.

As in most other states, Wal-Mart tops the list. About 2,700 of its workers -- or 9.6 percent of the company's Arizona workforce -- were found to be getting health coverage compliments of the taxpayers.

With other recent states -- Montana, Wisconsin and New Hampshire -- Arizona makes 16 that have disclosed such information.
