Wash. Post editorial repeated misleading Wal-Mart health care defense; editorial board member made same claim less than two months ago

SUMMARY: A Washington Post editorial repeated the misleading claim that "Wal-Mart employees, like the employees of other large retailers that employ many low-wage workers, are only slightly more likely to collect Medicaid benefits than the national average." Media Matters for America has previously noted that a larger gap exists for the children of Wal-Mart employees.
