Prescription for prescriptions?

Walmart is planning on using its buying power to help its employees and customers begin saving money on prescription drugs. With 1.3 million employees and nearly every American citizen as a customer, Walmart may be part of the solution to our sky-rocketing prescription drug costs in America.

This Courant editorial explains.

The one thing I get from Walmart's action... public pressure works. I imagine that part of the driving force here was a reaction by Walmart to all the negative publicity they've recently received on their healthcare benefits. So to me, this is proof positive that we, as a nation, can make a difference. We can do better. But we, including our public officials, must be willing to use the bully pulpit.
