I guess I will have to research it for myself because WAFB reports that it passed and is headed for Landr’s signature. The Advocate says the Senste killed it, and WBRZ says it just died because the Senate didn’t take it up today before adjourning.
How can it be so hard to report the correct information?
ETA: apparently the WAFB report was in reference to a different bill which created lots of oversight for PBM operations and mandated that cost savings be passed on to consumers. The pharmacy divestiture was an amendment to a different bill which was actually about pharmacy techs being allowed to work remotely. Make it make sense.

My health insurance company only covers my medications if I go through CVS. So there's one idea you can have for why people might use CVS.
thats a good point, I wasnt trying to insult you though

They’re just butt hurt their monopoly is over. Will have to spin off the pharmacies from Caremark insurance which they own and use to reimburse under the cost of the drug at every other pharmacy while paying themselves higher rates for the same drugs.
This defies reality. Aetna’s tiny compared to the other healthcare providers. If local pharmacies are being strangled, UNH and Humana’s PBMs play an oversized role in the problem. Removing Caremark from CVS’s vertical doesn’t help.
If this bill passed UNH would just be one step closer to becoming Highlander.

CVS is the most overpriced pharmacy I’ve ever seen.
They also sponsor the vast majority of the H-1B foreign pharmacists that are working in this country, and let me tell you, those guys (never girls) don’t give a frick if you are mad at them for being slow or being unable to communicate clearly in English. I’m sure that even on the worst day for them at CVS, it’s a paradise compared to being back in India, or wherever.

No sympathy for CVS. I used to use them because my insurance required it. I got sick of the constant robocalls and switched insurance so I could use an independent pharmacy. I now get much better service.
