Rent-seeking. Somewhere in this is a deal or an expectation that Obama will grant boons to CVS.
This is inevitable when you have a government that is this big, this powerful and this lawless.
CVS is planning on partnering with insurers and health care systems. This gives them an edge over their competition. Would not be surprised if buried somewhere in the ACA is regulations prohibiting the above from partnering with any company that sells tobacco, or alcohol. Or Firearms....
Yep.......It's likely CVS will become the primary dispenser of drugs under whatever Obama drug plan goes into effect.
While all pharmacies are basically the same when it comes to selling prescriptions via their stores, the BIG money is in the 90 day mail order programs which are currently administered by the individual's current health plan.
For example, my maintenance drugs have to be ordered thru CVS-Caremark.
It’s all about 0Care. They’re appointed navigators, I’ve read.
Isn’t ironic that 0 would “applaud this morning’s news that CVS Caremark has decided to stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products in its stores, and begin a national campaign to help millions of Americans quit smoking instead”, but thinks it’s okay to keep smoking pot?!
Strange days, indeed.
