Remember How Wal-Mart Was Offering to "Help" the U.S. with Medical Care System?

Well, I think we now know what kind of help Wal-Mart was offering, since Chris at AmericaBlog informs us that Wal-Mart's CEO is calling Massachusetts' plan for health care for all as assinine and ridiculous:

He's still whining but he still intends to expand in Maryland despite having to pay something towards employee health care. The GOP politicians all cried about Wal-Mart going away but they were wrong. Looking at the numerous CEO's who receive increasingly high compensation packages, I see nothing wrong with companies spending a few extra dollars on employee health care. This is no longer 1900 folks and if companies can afford to pay tens of millions per year to CEOs, they can afford this.

For the record, H. Lee Scott, CEO Wal-Mart managed to scrape together more than $17,000,000 in total compensation in 2004 so something tells me that the company has money to spare if they can afford such a luxurious plan for one person.
