Walmart will never get into the healthcare provider business. They’d never be able to figure out how to pressure doctors to offshore their services to provide lower cost.
Nor would any doctor–except maybe the immigrants who can’t get certified by the AMA–agree to be part of a Walmart Health-R-Us Dispensery. It would irreparably cheapen the brand, and they wouldn’t be able afterwards to charge astronomical fees for the same procedure when they went into private practice.
