[Winona Online Democracy] The Minnesota Vikings isn't a team option, which is just as well.
But all seriousness aside, Wal-Mart should be able to force drug companies to cut their prices to the bone as they do to their current merchandise suppliers. And maybe they could do that to medical service providers. If the politicial realities clause means convincing the public to go along with the team's program, then again, Wal-Mart would have the know-how. Their folksy advertising campaigns are the best there are, even better than the Republican "Harry and Louise" ads that helped scuttle the last serious health care reform attempt. John N.
