I am sure they will be very grateful to you because I read that their sales had fallen significantly due to this story. Hopefully all the people who stopped shopping at Walmart as a protest will continue to shop elsewhere.

This is incredibly sad, one would hope they are merely mentioning this to make her sound more sympathetic and not still telling her daily he’s dead…white lies are definitely apropriate in this case, since she wont remember anything tommorow, tell her he’s going to call tommorow..she’ll have forgotten she was told that by tommorow..

Yes, WalMart had the legal right to sue for reimbursement of medical expenses, even if that meant wiping out the entire trust for taking care of a disabled woman. However, they should know that when they act without compassion and just plain human decency, this is going to p!ss off some potential customers. And yes, citizens who believe WalMart could afford to act with more compassion than that have the legal right to take their business elsewhere. I don't see any "terrorism" anywhere in this scenario. Beck is just using that term for shock value. Sort of like Ann Coulter uses the word "f*ggot". Of course, the same right we have to not shop at WalMart enables us to not listen to Beck.

They could have chosen to not sue the woman for the small sum she received that is going towards paying for her long term care. For the record I agree the Lawyers were greedy for taking over half of the money. I don't agree that the medical estableshment is corrupt or somehow at fault for treating this woman.

The two culprits are the medical groups that ran up almost a half-million medical bill because Wal-Mart was paying. The second group of greedy bastards are the trial lawyers that took over half of the woman's settlement. The blame should be 100% on the trucking company and the settlement should go 100% to the injured party, Wal-Mart should retrieve all their costs. The medical quacks, lawyer crooks, and insurance thieves should be sent to Michael Vick's place and those that beat the other dogs can draw lots to see how long they stay in prison.
