A federal judge overturned the "Maryland Wal-Mart Healthcare Law" last week. The state law would have required that "non-governmental employers with 10,000 or more workers to spend at least 8 percent of payroll on health care or pay the difference in taxes." The law was targeted at Wal-Mart, which has been criticized for it's "inadequate" health care offerings to its employees. A federal judge overturned the previous court's ruling, saying that it would be unfair to Wal-Mart to have them allocate their funding differently for its Maryland employees.
