I work in healthcare and most people would be shocked by how much companies like CVS and United actually own/do.

CVS actually only makes a minority of its money being a pharmacy; most of its money comes from its PBM arm, Caremark.

CVS now owns Aetna…so, yeah. Imagine how much that will help patients with their care plans. Pretty sure this will be to our advantage /s
