In principle it sounds like a good idea. If WalMart could bring health care costs down to the point where health care was affordable for the uninsured, more power to them. I do have some reservations about one company having market dominance in so many areas - seems like a bad idea to me. As long as they're not the sole provider and aren't using their market power coercively, could be good, but WalMart's behavior in the past doesn't make me hopeful.
