Associated Press logo
Excerpt from the Associated Press -- "My sense is that consumers won't benefit all that much from this deal and if anything there will be less choice in the market for consumers looking to purchase both medical coverage and pharmaceutical coverage because once you have both, as CVS will have now, there may be the ability for them to exert power over those corporations with which they are negotiating both pharmacy and medical packages."
