On February 8, 2007, in a blog entitled,
Wal-Mart to the rescue, I wrote, “Government has been unable and may very well be ill-equipped to develop and implant a system that delivers high quality health care at affordable costs. Our best hopes lie with the private sector.”
I then offered examples of how Wal-Mart was opening clinics and providing prescription drugs at low cost.
I concluded my blog stating, “The best solution to provide top-notch health care at affordable prices is not going to come out of city halls, statehouses, or Washington D.C. Any talk of fixing health care in America should have Wal-Mart and other private sector executives at the discussion table.”
Wal-Mart has come through again, expanding its health care coverage. Workers at Wal-Mart will receive drugs for as low as $4 and monthly premiums for as low as $4.36.
Here are the
details.
