Walmart is making its long-awaited move into delivering primary care: The retailer has quietly opened a half-dozen primary care clinics across South Carolina and Texas, and plans to launch six more before January.
The clinics will be staffed by nurse practitioners, in a partnership with QuadMed.
quote:
Walmart’s stressed that their clinics will be a low-cost alternative to traditional options: Walk-in visits will cost just $40.
And for the hundreds of thousands of Walmart employees covered by the company health plan, well, it’s even cheaper.
“For our associates and dependents on the health plan, you can come and see a provider in the Wal-Mart Care Clinic for $4. Four dollars!” Jennifer LaPerre, a company official, said last week.

Bringing the parlay of extreme apathy and ignorance we have all come to expect from WalMart to healthcare near you.
They may be slow, but at least they're incompetent.

This is actually a good business model. Place a couple of sick people around several healthy people. More sick people. More money. Profit.
I predict an uptick in the incidence of community acquired pneumonia and flu in South Carolina and Texas this winter. I would like to see how they handle the Indonesian that comes in with tuberculosis.
