Walmart, the retailing behemoth with nearly 3,500 stores in the U.S., is angling to get into the even more mammoth health care business.

NPR and Kaiser Health News obtained a 14 page document, a "Request for Information," which indicates Walmart is looking for partners in "becoming the largest provider of primary healthcare services in the nation."

But, this afternoon, a Walmart executive said that the document had been "overwritten."

You can listen to NPR's story, as reported by KQED's Sarah Varney, here.
