Wal-Mart changes its' mind

[Charade]

They didn't put this woman through anything. Her attorneys were incompetent. She got got an award that was inadequate to cover her expenses and meet her needs. That isn't Walmart's fault. Now she has effectively won the "insurance lottery".

I agree.

It's really just too bad she didn't save up enough money over her career to pay for her own care & that it will eventually be up to tax payers.... People should plan for these sorts of things...

Don't worry, in a few years your tax dollars will go to her care and all of this will be a mute point.

The wrong villain is getting the press here. Walmart isn't the bad guy in this case. The insurance company is the one who set the policy-not Walmart. The lawyer is the one who did a poor job for his client-not Walmart.

Instead of using this case as a way to start looking at the policies of insurance companies and how the policies they write hurt the people they are supposed to be helping, or about how incompetent lawyers take people's money-it became another "big, bad Walmart" story.
