Wal-Mart to Offer New Health Plan

Wal-mart is set to unveil a cheaper health insurance plan aimed at expanding coverage for its low-income workers. The new "Value Plan" will have monthly premiums as low as $11. Currently, fewer than half of Wal-Mart's workers are covered by company health insurance. Industry Workers commended Wal-Mart for offering a more affordable health insurance plan, but many expressed surprise that the company waited as long as it did to offer a more affordable option.
