I think it might be interesting to discuss whether Walmart's cutting of generic prices will iimpact the uninsured in real terms. The last article I posted had some consideration of the real-world benefits of this plan. I'm curious to see how much it actually affects people on the ground.
Obviously a thoughtful discussion of Wal-Mart and America would have to consider employment practice, technological and logistical innovation, public policy, and competition with local business, among other topics.
dc, you're clearly right. I suppose there's good with bad - the efficiency impulse that drives Wal-Mart to root out inefficiencies in their supply and logistical process is thte same impulse that drives questionable or unfriendly employment practice. Two sides of the same coin.
