Innovation In The Health Care Sector Marches Forward
All eyes are on the Supreme Court as the nation awaits its decision about ObamaCare, but progress in the health sector nonetheless marches on. These changes in the real world of health care are driven not by Washington’s laws, rules, and endless regulations, but by companies, large and small, that are developing new ways to improve health care. Here are examples of some of their real-world solutions: Walmart is making a major investment in its new “Healthy Food Initiative” to help families stressed for time and money to eat better, more nutritious meals. Joe Quinn, senior director of issue management and strategic outreach for Walmart, described the company’s new five-year program to make it easier to live healthy by making more nutritious food more accessible and affordable.
