Now, I don’t normally do this. But uh…
Wal-Mart announced today that they will begin offering nearly 300 of the most popular generic drugs for $4 for a 30 day supply (read here).
It appears that Wal-Mart is actually doing a great thing for the common good. The best part about this plan is that it is available to anyone with a prescription regardless of their prescription drug or insurance coverage (or lack thereof as the case may be).
While this isn’t the nationwide free healthcare I’d like to see, it is a step in the right direction. I wonder if I will be able to purchase on-line so I can actually avoid visiting a Wal-Mart.

It’s worth pointing out that critics of Wal-Mart claim the prescription program was created, in part, to subsidize the low pay and benefits they offer their employees.
