Dentist's ki chippa. So far they minted millions man. Yearly remote hospitals lo ne they make $450k-$500k/year on an average. 

How will Walmart hire doctors nurses for cheap ? Why would any doctor join Walmart for such low wages. High wages isthey it won't be profitable for Walmart. 

I doubt if this will work out for walmart

Chala ekkuva expect chestunnav uncle. US lo dentist ki you need to pass exams and it's not easy to get a job like that. So anything is a blessing for them. Mallu community is full of these people.

Walmart eye clinics lo they still charge against our insurance I think ? But this case seems to be flat fee with no need of insurance. 

If it still charges our insurance then it might workout.

India lo $75. Ikkada it should have been that way for a long time. I still don't see why countries like India can get away with cheap Medical Bills but not in US. IMO, doctor is no longer superior, IT guy and doctor should be equal. Both are doing their jobs. 

evadu uncle neeku indialo $75 teskundi.. last time i had it for 350 or so
