"... WalMart can help by offering inexpensive pharmaceuticals. ..." Inexpensive yes, effective maybe, probably no. Walmart works by dictating the price a supplier sells. This is how it gets things so cheap, screw the other guy hard. So the question is "do you want the cheapest drug or the most effective?". By effective I mean, "it does what it claims". There are huge quality problems in outsourcing pharma-products to China, India and other non-first world states. If you want to Walmart exerting it's control on drug price, the likely result is cheaper but an inferior outsourced product.
