Laws discriminate by company size all the time....like employment of military person that have been deployed and maternity leave. I think that the law being made should have limits according to what the law is affecting, the 2 examples above deal with # of employees as the limit and weather you have to continue to provide a job under certain conditions where as the law in question is specifying a company with X # of employees pays X $ in healthcare if anything the law should be redone to be company's with X $ of income/profit (what ever line # you want to use) need to supply X $ of health care. Once again this is if the law stands up, I just dislike walmart the law seems a little oddball to me....
