Retailers to challenge MD law regarding health insurance

Large retailers have filed a lawsuit challenging a MD law that requires large employers such as Wal-Mart to contribute a percentage of corporate income toward healthcare costs. The state says it will defend the law in court because the state is trying to control escalating health care costs which the state large retailers should be able to afford for their employees. Retailers argued that this would drive up the cost of doing business and unfairly targets certain employers.
