I'll but my breakfast cereal there...I'll but other things there. But healthcare? Don't make me laugh!
My relatives still live in "the big city" and have discovered the hard way that these "finest hospitals" are nothing but training centers for doctor wannabes who may or may not get it right. On the other hand, I live in a rural area and know exactly who my doctor, specialists, and surgeons are, and I don't have to wait for anything. We get top-notch care out here, and both my wife and I have suffered afflictions that I feel sure would have left us dead or handicapped for life had we relied on "big city" medical care.
I own a farm out on the edge of the county, and we are a thirty minute drive to the hospital. However, I asked what their response time was in case of an emergency, and they replied to me that the helicopter would be sitting in my front yard within 6 minutes of the 911 call. Now, that's service! Of course, we pay a small membership fee every year ($75?) that guarantees this.
Walmart's getting into the private healthcare business? I say bring it on! I just wish they would get their head screwed on right about the guns and ammo thing.
I live within easy commuting distance of several of the world’s finest hospitals. It’ll be a snowy day in July when I go to Walmart for *any* kind of medical...or dental...care.

If you were paying massively out of pocket your mind you tune would change quick. Unless, of course, you are wealthy and enjoy wasting money.
I have no doubt “Walmart hospitals” must be terrifying to health care executives. Their gravy train is coming to an end.
