Healthcare ideas again scuttle myth of ‘liberal’ Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey has worked long and hard to “brand” his luxury grocery store as also being a liberal grocery store. Well, it’s been shown before not to be true.

And, some of his own proposals for his version of healthcare reform demonstrate that again.
• Tort reform;
• More “freedom” for health savings accounts;
• Looking only at Canada and the UK as alternatives, rather than Germany, France, Netherlands.

Not all of Mackey’s proposals are bad; just remember the source — a CEO busted for anonymous fluffing of his own company on blogs a couple of years back.

And, some people are nowrefusing to drink the Whole Foods coffee.
