Arizona may not be a blue state, but we're more Starbucks than Walmart

Arizona ranks in the top of the country for Starbucks per capita, yet toward the middle of the pack for Walmarts per capita. Starbucks is far more generous with employee health benefits than Walmart (did you think your $4 really just paid for coffee and milk?). So this alone does not explain our state being 36th in the country in percent of employers offering health benefits, or worse, 47th in the percent of non-elderly who are uninsured.
