Wait
Hold on. CVS is a drugstore chain. We're all up here being angry at health insurance because they literally make money on people dying.
If CVS is hiding their executives, does that mean they are acknowledging their own monstrosity we aren't even focused on?
How fucking odd that these execs are that self aware.
CVS does sell health insurance as well
CVS Health is the parent company to Aetna insurance, CVS Caremark PBM, and CVS Pharmacy chain among others (mostly medication related like infusions care, specialty pharmacy services, long term healthcare, etc.).
And I read somewhere that CVS store employees don't get the better healthcare version that their own company owns.
I worked at CVS when they bought Aetna... The insurance offered to employees got worse.
Everybody's insurance gets worse pretty much every year. And that's for the "lucky" ones that can afford it.
Oh
Well
Nevermind.
Too bad we don't have anything like the internet where millions of people can access anything accessible publicly on the internet the day before
My prescription drug insurance only covers mail-order and CVS. If I don't want mail-order, I either get my medication from CVS or I pay for it myself.
