Use a local pharmacy if you have the option. CVS and Walgreens are terrible to their pharmacists and other employees.
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.
Yeah I can only go to CVS due to my insurance :(
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.
The company picks the insurance based on the best deal they can get....
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.
Best we can do is a dystopian shit show.
Aetna? I thought it was the other way around. If so TIL.
I can't remember the last time I saw a local pharmacy. The chains ran them out of business around here a long, long time ago. Best we had was one particular Realo, but then they got the local TriCare contract and wow, they got in over their heads. All their long-time employees quit and the quality of the place is abysmal now.
We lost our local pharmacy before Covid. Between CVS and Walgreens, Walgreens does a decent job. CVS always had like 6 employees running around in the pharmacy and yet they still took forever to do anything. It was almost impressive.
