[lbo-talk] Wal-Mart & Part D

[Marta Russell]

I heard from a friend who said that a pharmacist in Mississippi told  
him that small pharmacies are going out of business there because of  
Part D.  The feds aren't paying them for drugs in a timely manner so  
they must put out more money than they can afford.  Since Wal-Mart  
has gotten into the prescription drug business and heavily into Part  
D, here is another way for Wal-Mart to drive out the little guy  
pharmacies pretty much like they did other small retailers throughout  
the nation.
