They are not forced to work at walmart. They voluntarily walk in and fill out an application then voluntarily work and get a paycheck.
Does their situation make it the best choice for them? Probably. Is their situation the result of the need to work? Yes. It would still not be right to characterize that as being forced to work.
Everyone, every single one, who cannot afford to buy healthcare ( a small number ( thought bigger than it should be)) gets at the least, public aid.
Are you saying that public aid is not adequate? I have managed public aid benefits for a number of my clients and while it is not a cadilac plan it is clearly mostly adequate. Yes it has problems which I believe are the result of it being a government plan. We need to reduce the number of people in this country who are on plans run by the gov not increase them.
Would I characterize public aid as not being quality? Actually, while I would like to I cannot. It is worse than other plans but it is good enough to be called quality. They do have worse outcomes but they get treated in the same hospitals by the same doctors and the only difference is that the doctors have to follow rules about what treatments they can offer. For example, a hard of hearing person on public aid can get a hearing aid but only one - thats all the gov thinks is needed to hear. As unfair as I tink that is I cannot argue with the logic.
No body in this country lacks quality health care and if you think they do then it is those on the gov plan.
And since no one lacks quality health care there is no need to make major changes toward nationalized healthcare.
