Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 9 page paper making several recommendations for Wal-Mart at the end of 2006, after Maryland targeted the company for health care contributions and after a Maryland court denied the requirement. Wal-Mart is beginning to be more outwardly-focused than in the past; the paper recommends expanding the location of primary care clinics in Wal-Mart stores; expanding its $4 prescription program currently available only in Florida; subsidizing direct health care costs of employees; surveying employees directly to discover their wants and needs; and requiring the use of biofuels in all Wal-Mart vehicles where biofuel is available.
