Wal-Mart's RX for health care | money.cnn.com
This article is a clarion call to the nation's largest employers and to our federal government, of the growing healthcare dilemma of uninsured and underinsured employees. The new concept of a medical clinic in the world's greatest one-stop retailer will begin to minimize the pressure put on most emergency room and hospitals across the USA, plus offer greater flexibility to the consumer base. Additionally, this should boost revenues within most Superstore Pharmacy Centers, while assisting the store with rental income to overcome huge operating expense's. This entrepreneurial idea is a "breath of fresh air" to the healthcare industry and it should be embraced by politicians and special interest groups alike as a means to provide solutions to this growing healthcare problem rather than continued separation of social status.
