What do you think about Walmart opening up health clinics?

Walmart is already ridiculously crowded and hard to find a parking spot sometimes. I think adding health clinics is going to make the store more crowded and insane.

1. hahah. well if the prices are low...
2. Depending on if it is available for the ewmployees, my husband works at a walmart supercenter, so we feel that would be FANTASTIC!!!!!!
3. I think it's a good idea. Wal-Mart has been synonymous with bringing affordability to middle/low income earners. WIth health care costs rising, the demand is there for affordable low complexity health care that don't need the skills of a Primary Care Physician. For the impact on store traffic, I am sure it will be negligible. A hospital teamed up with a major regional grocery store chain in my area and it seems to be doing well. There are never lines out of these "Quick Care" clinics. I used them once for a flu shot and I didn't wait for more than 15 minutes. But only when Wal-Mart implements this can we tell how successful it will be.
