A state spokesman cautioned the report does not tell the difference between full- and part-time employees, or employees who do not yet qualify for benefits, or why employees sought Medicaid."

Maybe Walmart aren't the "users".
For instance, in 1980 I was playing in Florida in my rock band. I was 18 years old (the drinking age wasn't 21 yet). I started dating an escort. And it was FUN! She had money and hot escort friends to have group sex with...it was awesome.
She averaged around $1,000 a day in CASH.
She was a divorced woman with a kid. And guess what? She got foodstamps every week!
She was making 6 figures a year in CASH (which in 1980 made you rich). But of course she didn't file income tax on any of that money. So to the govt. she was an unemployed single mother.
And she used those foodstamps to buy groceries every week. And so did a lot of her friends. (she even had her kid getting free school lunches)
I was shocked by that. I grew up being taught that getting foodstamps was shameful.
But I learned a lesson that the majority of people will ALWAYS game the system.
Back to the Walmart employees...If they are doing a good job and work there a few months they WILL get a raise. And secondly, Walmart has a grocery store in it. And they get employee discounts don't they?
If they are taking foodstamps, then I have to say they are gaming the system.
THEY are the "users", not the people who employ them to do a simple job that requires no skills or education.
