Wal-Mart Gets into the Health Care Business

The Boston Globe reports:

The company that radically reshaped the retail industry is getting into the healthcare business.


Wal-Mart is experimenting with ways to provide outpatient medical services to its millions of customers by opening walk-in clinics in about a dozen stores. The move by the $285 billion corporation is part of a broader trend that could significantly change the way many Americans get basic healthcare.

We wonder if the unions, trying to prevent Wal-Mart from expanding around the country, will object to Wal-Mart attempting to introduce lower prices in health care?
