    Holy shit, I had no idea CVS owned Aetna. That kind of vertical should never be allowed, that’s insane. Man I hope our kickass FTC chair Lina Kahn gets 4 more years, she’s been doing yeoman’s work against 40 years of no enforcement, hope she gets to keep digging into this crap.

      I bought cough drops at a CVS once. They were like 4x the price of the grocery store. It’s no wonder their insurance sucks. Also, yes, verticals like that should not exist.

    kinda crazy. Even AAA gives its employees beneficial AAA insurance (at least according to a tow truck driver i was driving with at some point who worked directly for AAA who at least told me that working directly for AAA is more often better than working as a tow truck driver for a local company).
