CVS Is Pushing Obamacare. Will it Backfire?

J P Sousa:
My insurance plan requires me to use CVS Pharmacy.

Today I went in to get my Flu shot. The Pharmacist apologized for taking so long because of recent cutbacks in staff.

It seems that they (CVS) thought there would be all these new customers for their Pharmacy from the new law. Are they now thinking differently ???

Hmmm.....

Meanwhile in Michigan.....

Opponents of the health care law are also shifting into gear. Last week they called for a boycott of CVS Caremark in response to the company’s July 25 announcement that it is rolling out a company-wide information and outreach program “to help customers gain access to critical health insurance marketplace information.”

In CVS's case, workers not comfortable getting the review done will have to pay a $600 annual penalty.

Actually, my daughter's health care plan is doing the same.

Unfortunately, I have to go through CVS Caremark.

I've been going though Walgreen's. It's the closest to my house and never got into the habit of going to CVS. Now I'm glad that I don't go there.

thundley4:
Am I odd that I don't have a regular pharmacy?  We only have gotten prescriptions a few times over the course of being together for 27 years, and just go to KMART.

I was at the CVS pharmacy yesterday and didn't see anything about Obamacare.  The only thing they were pushing was flu shots.
