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.
