What we're about to hear

From my post on the World Health Care blog
Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott will deliver the closing address in a few minutes. If you can’t wait to hear what he’ll have to say, you can check out today’s press release or read the whole speech here.Scott will announce a major expansion of Wal-Mart’s in-store health clinics program. Over the next two to three years, Wal-Mart intends to open 400 more in-store health clinics. Scott will also announce that Wal-Mart customers have saved $290 million thanks to Wal-Mart’s $4 generic prescription drug plan. Nearly 30% of those prescriptions were filled without insurance.As I’ve written on the Health business blog, I’m hopeful that Wal-Mart can save the US health care system by making it unnecessary to have health insurance for routine expenses. I’m looking forward to the speech.The text is attached.
