This feels like a bad dream man lol
America will put a hospital inside Walmart before giving people free healthcare.
They'll obviously need private security forces to quell disturbances in their company towns.
Someone did a writing prompt several years ago of the corporate wars of the future that got some pretty good responses. The top comment definitely stuck with me.

So when you clock out of your soul crushing 10 hour shift fot $7.25 at Walmart you can head over and get a script for an SSRI to take the edge off.
If they're gonna go with the drug workers in passivity thing they should at least throw us a bone and start prescribing tons of valium again

The doctors and nurses all have to do the Walmart dance at the start of the day.
I've been to one like 13 years ago in Canada (Calgary) it was the closest to my house. For me it was like any other walk-in, dunno what it's like for Americans though. It was definitely weird to go to a walk-in doc at a walmart regardless.
no joke i saw this in a weird-ass half-coherent dream like a month ago
edit: i also remember having to walk around the entire building (which was like a huge warehouse) to get to the entrance, and then when I entered the front desk was behind thick glass like it was a cop station lmao
Interesting how they didn't just contract it out to Walgreens or CVS like Target did. I guess Walmart's union busting tactics are much more effective because that's why Target closed their pharmacies.
