Wal-Mart Diworsification

Wal-Mart is having preliminary discussions about buying health insurer Humana.  I would have liked to be in the board room when Wal-mart directors had this discussion.

Excellent news.  I've been told the free market will save health care!

Historically Walmart was great for fine tuning the retail market as we know it.  Perhaps they can make the health care market better and cheaper?  That, or it will be worse...
but, a trade war between Walmart and Amazon might end up being great for consumers.

I want as much distance as possible between Walmart and my healthcare.
