“Well, WalMart has done it! This week, they became the first major corporation to begin offering high-deductible, basic coverage health insurance policy options to their employees. … [T]he Value Plan, for less than $25 per month (as little as $11 in some regions), would allow a WalMart worker to get coverage for limited doctor visits, emergencies and similar curative medical aid. … If this lead is followed, there could be real progress made in making healthcare a lot more affordable. On the surface, that’s how it appears. But we must also note that this apparent ‘free-market’ move comes from a company that has simultaneously come out strongly in favor of raising the minimum-wage … [and] advising managers on how to shift from the current elderly workforce to hiring a younger demographic, one more likely to be healthy and less in need of healthcare expenditures. … Given these subsidiary actions, a true pro-liberty motivation for the new health plan is unlikely.” (10/31/05)
