Thoughts on Albertsons - Kroger?

[OldielovesHerd]

Quick question.

You are seemingly against one entity controlling 25% of a segment. Why would you therefore want one entity to control 100% of the Healthcare industry?

Walmart still has the best prices if that changes then maybe a breakup. As for healthcare it is a total disaster.

Monopolistic practices that are inherent when one company owns 25% of a sector, as WM/Sam’s does with groceries.

Where I live within 3 miles of WalMart there is Harris Teeter, Lowes, Food Lion, Aldi. Not sure how Wal-Mart is Within 8 miles there is a Costco and BJ's club. Plus probably another 10 grocery stores on top of what I mentioned. Not sure they are a true monopoly.
