/——/ I believe it will drive prices down by offering competition. CVS buying an insurance company is not like CVS buying Walgreens. Different marketplace./——-/ My friend paid $1,200 a month for his cancer meds at a big box Rx. He checked Costco where it’s about $30 a month. Those nasty pharmaceutical companies./----/ What does that have to do with anything? I said before politicians turned health insurance into a political football it was reasonably priced and easy to get. If your employer didn't provide it you could buy it yourself. You are old enough to know better but you;re stuck on Obozocare and all it's empty promises.
I'm sorry, when was this magically time where you could buy your own insurance and it didn't cost anything?
The thing is, I would be all for getting rid of employer plans and have everyone negotiate individually.
The system would collapse in a year. The young wouldn't bother and the old couldn't afford it.
/----/ OK Now you're falling back on Straw Man arguments to defend your position. I never said it was free. I said it was "reasonably priced and easy to get" and you twist that into something I did not say. Now run along and play with your little friends.

I paid 80 cents for a prescription the other day. Without insurance it would have been $10.00.
Those nasty pharma companies !!!!
They are getting rich off me.
...And now CVS and Aetna have reached an agreement for CVS to purchase them. How's that going to work, drive prices down or up?
