Walmart doesn’t settle for second place: The nation’s #1 retailer just said it wants to be the #1 health care provider in the retail industry, too.
The company’s statement came on Monday, alongside an announcement about Walmart’s new health insurance initiative.
Under Walmart’s new partnership with DirectHealth.com, about half of 4,300 Walmart’s stores will feature DirectHealth.com licensed agents, who will help consumers shop for health insurance and navigate Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges.
The program, known as Healthcare Begins Here, begins on Friday Oct. 10 and will run for two months. Not coincidentally, the Medicare open enrollment period begins next week, and the open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges begins in November....

“Next: Mortgages and refinancing.”
Voting voter registration
Seriously; since most of the places that don’t want a Wal-Mart are really liberal and the only people that like Obama Care are really liberal I wonder if this is an attempt to gain access to some areas where they can’t build a store? Alternately, wouldn’t it be funny if the only people who could not sign up for Obama Care were the ones that voted for it but won’t go into Wal-Mart
Your post is interesting. Why can’t WalMart pick a price to insure just the uninsured? Right now GM is the biggest health provider. Doesn’t have to be cadallic-like.
They are already planning to let people have checking accounts like a bank or savings and loan or something
> Next: Mortgages and refinancing.
As in refinancing your home to get enough cash to pay the deductible shortfall that your Walmart Healthcare doesn’t cover? Sure. Why not in Obamaland?
I’ve had clients do stupider things with their proceeds when I was a loan officer.
Could be worse, it could be McDonalds doing this.

Now that they’ve got all those self-checkout kiosks, this will give their cashiers something to do.
The article says there will be insurance agents assigned those duties. Not just anyone can sell insurance, one usually needs a license.
I would trust Walmart or Mcdonalds with healthcare before I trusted dot.gov. Walmart and Mcdonalds would be trying to make it work. The dot.gov is trying to destroy private market health insurance and replace it with single payer (dot. gov decides who is important) insurance.
They already have clinics - http://www.walmart.com/cp/Walmart-Clinics/1078904
I was thinking the cashiers would be seeing patients.
Just wait until they open their Law School.
Just wait til they get their own Air Force and Navy!
Walmart in danger of jumping the shark.
The senile old moron that used to check receipts at the door and screwed that up will now be writing policies.
Buying and selling....In your face, it begins;
“So no man might buy or sell unless he who had the mark......or the code number of his name.....
....let him who has understanding decipher the code number....”
