WallyWorld to the healthcare rescue?

MSN economics columnist Jim Jubak is normally spot-on in my book, but I have plenty of skeptical bones in my about his idea that Wal-Mart is good for what ails the healthcare system.

Even he admits WallyWorld is far short of what it should be doing on reforming healthcare benefits for its own employees.

Videoconferencing with doctors in China? Waiting in line as much as at a conventional doctor’s office?

Jubak says folks like Costco need to follow, and many have already begun.

Well, just as Costco runs a better warehouse store than Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club, and with a more liberal company ethos, I have no doubt it will trump WallyWorld here too.
