Do You Smoke? At Wal-Mart Health Insurance Will Go Up

A radical new approach to health insurance.  Wal-Mart says it will require employees who smoke to pay a larger share of their health insurance premiums.  Life insurers have been charging you more if you smoke or drink or have a dangerous occupation for a long time.  Now Wal-Mart says it can’t keep shouldering all the health care insurance costs for part-time workers, smokers, and even full-time workers.
