Guys check this story.



A 52 year old Wal Mart employee named Debbie Shank was involved in a terrible car accident that left her severely brain damaged. After receiving a settlement of $470,000, the idea was that she was going to be taken care of. But that was too happy of an ending for Walmart. What Debbie didn't relise is that WalMart's health plan has a fine print that stated that if there is ever money won in a case for a settlement, Wal Mart has the right to take it. And you bet your sweet ass Wal mart took it.


Wal Mart made 90 billion dollars last quarter and the greedy bastards pursued and took this poor womans money. Not to mention that her son was Killed two weeks after arriving in Iraq at age 18, and her husband is still recovering from prostate cancer.

When a rep from WalMart, John Smiley, was asked about the situation, he replied:
"Though Mrs Shanks case is unbeleivelably sad, Wal-Mart's health plan is bound by very specific rules. ... We wish it could be more flexible in Mrs. Shank's case since her circumstances are clearly extraordinary, but this is done out of fairness to all associates who contribute to, and benefit from, the plan."
Her husband has had to divorce her just so she can get on a goverment health plan, and even that wont help her for long.

Its safe to say that Wal Mart has destroyed a family.
