The Working Poor at Wal-Mart | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Wal-Mart already helps its associates apply for Medicaid, although the Medicaid expansion would allow them to increase hours and still not have their workers lose their benefits.  The ACA itself is here for the working poor of higher wage.  I work an even lower paid job in a cinema - but most of my fellow associates are teenagers in their parents homes or in college and have insurance that way.  I also have to work on Thanksgiving - and unlike retail employees - no one is complaining about my plight - mostly because they want to see The Hunger Games.
