Operator of Walk-In Clinics Shuts 23 Located in Wal-Mart Stores | www.nytimes.com
Yes, WalMart has a large pool of patients. And there are competitive advantages with regard to the convenience of a pharmacy and over the counter remedies. However, having patients is only one piece of the puzzle. The business of medicine is more complex than merely having patients or customers.

Repayments to Medicare May Be Too Much to Ask
December 3, 2007
Medicare | Some Hospices Forced To Repay Medicare for Exceeding Reimbursement Limits as Patients Live Longer Than Expected | www.kaisernetwork.org
The government has paid hundreds of millions less as a result of these measures. Now, the government has targeted the Hospice industry. Of course, there is no physician that can predict how long a patient will live. Physicians sign orders for Hospice patients that are terminal. The physician cannot know how many days of Hospice care will be provided. Much of the Hospice care is provided in a patient’s home and not in an acute care hospital or skilled nursing facility.
