Walmart takes woman’s support money.

CNN is carrying the story of the Shanks. Debbie Shanks was a Walmart employee and got her insurance through Walmart. When she was given permanent brain damage in an accident, she won a million dollars. $417,000 of that was put in a trust to pay for her long term care at a nursing home.

Walmart has sued to recover the money they paid for her medical bills and has won.

You can email the corporate office here.

And I will no longer be shopping at Walmart.
