    CVS BOUGHT my health insurance company earlier this year.

    If we are going to be cursed with private healthcare, can we at least maintain a competitive market? Right now it’s an oligopoly at best, effectively a private monopoly for a lot of people.

        That has to be illegal right? It’s so obvious what they are doing. Buying insurance companies then forcing the customers to use their other product. And the “customer” didn’t really have a choice of what insurance to get because their company chooses for them.

        Try goodrx, I’m able to get my medicine at a local pharmacy that my insurance won’t pay for at the same price as the chain they try to make me go to.
