Maybe you’re onto something there. They might just be clearing shelf space for weed.

Thanks for the ping!

The new health insurer I got stuck with this year, Humana, informed me last month that they are now only doing prescriptions with CVS and Walmart. They dropped Walgreens.

Humana is also he first to announce that they will request financial help from the taxpayers ($450 million) as is allowed in the ACA.

These people are all in bed together.

As everyone knows by now, CVS, the No. 2 drug store chain, will give up $2 billion in revenues by halting sales of tobacco products. CVS’s stock declined in response to the announcement, but it is not clear that shareholders’ long-term interests will be undermined.

Huh? Show me another company where "long-term interests" will not be undermined if they lose $2bn revenue.

they must be in the mix to sell legal weed....or maybe they’ll get an exemption from obamacare fiasco....
