...AND CHEAPER...:
Dr. Wal-Mart: May offer more primary healthcare, seeks partners (Tiffany Hsu, November 9, 2011, LA Times)It's not enough to be a clothing store, grocer, pharmacy, auto servicer and more. It looks as if Wal-Mart Stores Inc. now plans to play doctor too.
The largest retailer in the country recently sent out a request for information to potential partners to help it offer a range of medical services without the traditionally steep prices.
In the 14-page document, Wal-Mart said that it "intends to build a national, integrated, low-cost primary care healthcare platform that will provide preventative and chronic care services ... in an affordable and accessible way."
