I wonder how this will be "spun" to be bad for consumers... Here's my guess. The $4 drugs are being out-sourced to be manufactured by slave labor in Indonesia.

The company estimates the program will save that state hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in Medicaid costs.Hmmm, how about that? You mean a private business may be able to do a service cheaper than the government? Shocker!

"It's unclear how Wal-Mart is getting the drugs"
nooooooo thank you. If it's anywhere like where they get the other junk they sell, we'll pass.

" it will sell nearly 300 generic drugs at $4 a prescription beginning in Florida this week and spreading to as many states "as possible" next year. The program will be available to insured and uninsured consumers,"
The bastards, when will these horrors ever end.

this may be the the start of the opening of a cloud with a silver lining, as the free-market response to Medicare Part D.
To: arichtaxpayer
Unfortunately, this will hurt the drug stores because generic drugs historically have had a higher profit margin than branded drugs.

Wal-Mart is a business predator. So, they are going after the CVS, Walgreen pharmacies.
How?
Predatory pricing. They aren't getting these drugs from drg manufactureres that cheaply. They are selling them at a loss in order to take the customers away from the pharmacy stores and drive them out of business.
Yeah, good for the consumer. In about 3 years, there will be no pharmacies open except for Wal-Mart.

Wal Marts & Sam's Clubs in many states sell gasoline at or below wholesale cost prices. In some states (e.g. Minnesota) state laws were passed to prevent such practices and by setting a minimum price supposedly save Mom & Pop retailers from such "unfair" competition. I fully expect the retail pharmacy lobby will go into high gear to stop these $4 prescriptions citing similar reasons.
