Fannie Mae and HealthSouth took their licks, while Wal-Mart Stores tried to get out ahead of its detractors on health care. H. Lee Scott Jr., the chief executive of Wal-Mart Stores, will formally announce changes to the company's health benefits program to the nation's governors in Washington, some of whom have criticized the health care coverage the retailer provides, saying it leaves the states to shoulder many medical costs. Wal-Mart previewed new benefit rules that are aimed at loosening eligibility requirements and reducing the waiting period for new part-time employees to participate.
