it's a great corporate strategy.

many shoppers at walmart don't have insurance.

not only will it allow walmart a big slice of the $$ that will come from universal healthcare coverage (they see the writing on the wall), it wall also create a huge increase in loyalty shopping for other lowpriced products, from those very same shoppers who would use a walmart clinic.

however, if they continue on their previous corporate model, walmart WILL come up with a way to cut expense corners.

that IS the name of their game.
