Wal-Mart's Cheap Drug Trick

What I am afraid the Wal-Mart announcement on cheap drugs will do is simply kill all competition and send you to a store which knowingly and happily lets its pharmacists decides which drugs they morally feel you should have while destroying every other pharmacy in the nation.

The $4 price they tout is probably for a very, very, very limited number of drugs, too. And where does this help the majority of Wal-Mart workers who CANNOT afford any health care except through welfare because Wal-Mart won't take care of their own employees to make the Walton family richer.

I sadly buy a lot of prescription drugs. But even though I can already save money buying at the local Wal-Mart pharmacy, I won't go.
