Thanks for making our point for us...Walmart is a very competitive business...they sell the same goods at much lower prices.. Walmart has been criticized by the Left for being BEYOND competitive -- that is, being so big nobody can compete with them. A government insurance plan will reflect 10 or 20 or 50x the disparity. Nobody can compete with them. As a further example, some years ago Walmart was sued, AND LOST, for using unfair trade practices in pricing at their pharmacies. The goal was to set prices so low that while losing money on them in the near term, they would drive out competition altogether. Without having lost that case, many cities today would have one pharmacy which could set prices however they wanted to. Walmart's pharmacy. Who will prevent this from happening with the government option? Nobody. The federal government isn't going to sue itself, that's for sure. walmart has endorsed national health care by the way Of course they have. Why would they NOT? They're clearly going to be forced to provide health insurance for their employees. Why not have the taxpayers subsidize it? Duh.
