I find Walmart to be a wholly disconcerting place. I just find it very strange that it sells tires, toothpaste, turkeys, tinsel and t-shirts all under the same gigantic roof — and markets this as a good thing. One-stop shopping is one thing, but sheesh.

Anyway, Walmart has confused me once more, with two recent developments. Last month, the nation’s largest retailer and private employer announced it would stop providing health benefits to its part-time workforce. Then, just days later, the retail giant quietly issued an RFI (acquired by Kaiser Health News) seeking a partner to provide more health clinics in its stores — offering medical services that wouldn’t be covered for its part-time employees.
