This involves any retired members of the armed services that have signed up for TRICARE as their supplemental insurance to Medicare.

I have TRICARE for LIFE, as my late husband served in the USMC for 28 years as an officer.

Walgreens dropped all TRICARE prescriptions a year ago, because they were not being reinmbursed by the Federal Government.

Now, Walgreens has posted that they are losing business, because those TRICARE customers are going elsewhere for their prescriptions, and not buying other items at Walgreens.

It’s starting, folks. (And it ain’t gonna be pretty!)

From the article: “The layoffs are the latest in a series that followed the company's $29.1 billion acquisition of Medco in April.”

Having experienced two corporate mergers, these layoffs are not unusual.
