CVS and Walmart are betting they can change how Americans get healthcare. Here’s why that should worry hospitals.

Both CVS and Walmart say they want to work with existing health systems, and that they'll refer patients to those partners for some more complex or ongoing care needs. Walmart is partnering with other healthcare firms to offer some of the services in its stores.

From the MinuteClinic, CVS linked the person back up with their primary care doctor, who could help the patient manage their diabetes on an ongoing basis. Merlo also pointed out that about 50% of the patients who visit MinuteClinics don't have a go-to primary care provider. Some analysts have said that CVS should go deeper into healthcare to wring more benefits from operating the clinics.
