Your next Doctors visit could be at a ....

Walmart? Yes, apparently Walmart is breaking into the health care industry (sort-of) and setting up small medical clinics inside some of their flagship stores! Apparently, instead of full size clinics, Walmart is renting out spaces to Nurse practioners and Physicians Assistants whilst offering Menu-style treatments for common ailments, ranging from $45 to $75 dollars. Is this the free-market solution to cheaper healthcare? Or is Walmart out to make a quick buck? I dont know if I should be scared by Walmart offering basic healthcare or...ok no im definetly scared! I cant wait until they start offering 2 for 1 colonoscopys! Article
