Wal-Mart and a Union Unite, at Least on Health Policy

[...] this morning, in an extraordinary meeting in Washington, the chiefs of Wal-Mart Stores and the Service Employees International Union will stand together and agree on a series of goals for achieving universal health coverage, according to people briefed on the matter.

This is an important step. If Big Business gets behind universal coverage, it could happen faster.

Please note that I still don't like Wal-Mart.
