What do you think about Wal-Mart entering the health insurance market? Are any other non-traditional companies set to disrupt the health payer market as well?

More competition the better for consumers! target is already making deals with insurance providers. Next they’d make deals directly with hospitals or large medical systems directly

Not sure “disrupt” would be a good descriptor for Walmart’s entry into a broken system, but I say go for it. Can’t hurt.

The same way I feel about Aetna getting into the bottled water industry. It sounds stupid.

Didn’t GE do this in the 90s/00s and pretty much destroy their brand?

Wait what? Lol

Honestly, it’s good but also so stupid.

It’s good, because at least it’s a push for Americans to think “Hey, what if my health insurance wasn’t linked to (and held hostage by) my job?”

On the other hand, there are like a dozen of wildly successful national healthcare models over in Europe (and elsewhere), just use one of them!

The only thing more ridiculous but predictable than Wal-Mart doing this is if Uber, Amazon, or SpaceX decided to “disrupt the health insurance industry”

Does anybody think Big Tech will get into health insurance as well? Ex. Google, Amazon?

Don't know how to feel about it.
I still like her and I know she does too, but don't know if we're going to make it more complicated than it is
