5 major NY pharmacies to start translating drug instructions

Five major pharmacies, including Target, Wal-Mart and Costco, are going to start translating instructions for medications dispensed at their locations throughout New York state. Makes sense to me - seems like people will be safer and there will be fewer emergencies due to mismedication. It reminded me of a big debate in Philadelphia a couple of years ago though, when some restaurants refused to serve people if they didn't speak English. I wonder what people who supported that would think about this move.
