Why, it doesn't surprise me that the free market beats out the Ineptocracy. Not one little bit.

"Ineptocracy". Is that a concept from the book Meritocracy? Seems intuitive.

Completely intuitive. You knew exactly what I meant, didn't you? This now appears at the end of all my emails: Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

It's not really any surprise. Large corporations have always been able to negotiate for lower premiums due to the size of their potential pool. Additionally, I expect Wal-Mart is picking up a large portion what would be the premium paid, as part of their compensation package, which is typical for health coverage large companies provide their employees.

Bingo. A lot of people miss the point that companies offer cheaper health insurance as an incentive to work there. Also, good luck being a Walmart employee who is eligible for health insurance...
