Anyone know if the local tv stations picked up this story?
With the rising costs of healthcare nowadays, I thought this news story would get a lot publicity.
Obviously this is a good thing for the people of Hawaii. Now as predatory a competitor Walmart is to it's competitors, isn't it nice for a change to see a private sector business treat Hawaii as "just another location" as opposed to a profit center for gouging local folks ala the petroleum and shipping industries?
