1. Walmart. In 2019, the retail giant rolled out and expanded several healthcare pilots, including a Featured Providers program to link employees to local physicians, and $4 telehealth visits. It also began offering employees tuition assistance for healthcare-related degrees. Read more: Walmart has no shelf space for hospitals’ shoddy healthcare
