The $$$ they stole and have now paid in fines should go back to the pharmacies that they financially raped and pillaged for all those years. @CMSGov kick them out of federal programs while you’re at it.
In 2014, Caremark was accused of manipulating how drug costs were reported, prompting Aetna and SilverScript to submit false direct and indirect remuneration reports in 2013 and 2014, according to court records. The scheme, which was allegedly designed to hide profits, led to.

You can thank @RobManess the next time you can’t afford your meds, can’t pay your premium, and don’t have access to a local pharmacy. Apparently he’s ok with the status quo…or maybe he just didn’t do his research on this topic. Here’s a few examples of how PBMs drive up costs.
