Deborah Shank was hit by a truck and suffered brain damage. The Shanks won the suit, but money-grubbing Wal-Mart wants all the money that would go toward her care (due to a legal loophole called "subrogation"). Wal-Mart won the case, leaving the Shanks penniless. A health-care administrator advised her husband to divorce her so that she can get benefits as a single woman. And to top it all off, they lost a son in Iraq. Compassionate conservatism at work, indeed. And knowing the makeup of the Supreme Court, this will either never make it to the court, or Wal-Mart will retain its right to its Scrooge-like tactics.

Are you seriously trying to twist this story in to some type of bash on Conservatism because of the Walton family's political views?

I think it's more about the inflexibility of that certain law.

You're both right.
