nah, they’ll buckle to government and end up supporting Obama Care - because they have so many Obama phone customers, if you get my drift...

I don’t get your drift, Walmart is known as the store for the people the elites and GOPe despise, working people, suburban people, gun owners, rural people, conservatives, Christians. Blue enclaves and many big cities and urban centers don’t even allow Walmart to sell groceries.

When I looked it up a few years ago Walmart was not even allowed to build grocery stores in place like Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego.

Living in a city is what made me such a late comer to discovering that Walmart was going to become my favorite grocery store, they have been largely forbidden to urban people, who are forced to shop in union stores.

You're wrong about that and about that demographic. Nearly all of our health care troubles are born of government laws and regulations on health care.

Change the laws and you get a market based health care system in which real competition occurs, prices drop and quality improves. Obamacare is trying to do that artificially by government fiat and it will fail.

Secondly, the problem isn't really a federal one, but occurs at the state and local levels where existing hospitals can use the levers of state power to stop competitors from moving in or building new medical facilities.

Add to that the inane and unConstitutional (it violated the Commerce Clause guaranteeing free trade between states) practice of blocking interstate commerce in health insurance. The first state to eliminate that useless and anti-consumer restriction wins the health care game and becomes a haven for labor as health costs plummet.
