Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced today that Maryland will not appeal a federal court ruling overturning the "Fair Share" Health Care Act, ending a two-year debate over whether the state could force Wal-Mart to pay more for employee health care.That is good news.
Joined by representatives of Gov. Martin O'Malley's office, Comptroller Peter Franchot, and labor and business leaders, Gansler said he did not believe an appeal would succeed. Even if it did, he said, litigation could stall for years more comprehensive efforts to expand coverage to the 800,000 Marylanders who lack health insurance.
