The CEO of Whole Foods wrote an op ed article for the Wall Street Journal this week, decrying that health care was not an intrinsic right and something reserved for the wealthy - oops, not the smartest move for a company that claims it is a progressive corporation committed to the good of the community.
The fallout has been substantial, and now there is a national boycott of the company, via facebook:
Whole Foods is NOT a company that cares for communities and they have built their brand with the dollars of deceived progressives. No more. My $ will no longer go to support Whole Foods' anti-union, anti-health insurance reform, right-wing activities.
John Mackey, CEO and co-founder of Whole Foods wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on 8/12/2009 quoting Margaret Thatcher and suggesting that healthcare is a commodity that only the rich, like him, deserve.
The national debate about health care has become complicated and vicious, and it seems that not even the Iraq war caused such alarm or stir.
