Apparently, if you're a Wal-Mart employee and are insured under their health plan, they can steal money from you that you won in a lawsuit from an accident, and probably from a medical malpractice suit.

I am so compelled to shop at your store now after hearing about this genuinely humane act of not stealing.
This is why public pressure helps put assholes in their place:
