That's what it sounds like to me. It's probably a good idea to read through your health plan before you complain about it. It's not Wal-Mart's fault that her lawyer is incompetent and didn't get a suitable settlement.
It's a crappy situation, but if Wal-Mart lets her $470 000 slide then they have to do the same for everyone. They're still a business.
