DON’T BELIEVE CVS. THIS IS AN ANTI-TRUST BILL. You may have received texts from CVS asking you to “protect pharmacy access.” HB1959/SB2040 simply breaks up Big Healthcare’s vertically integrated monopoly by separating PBMs from pharmacies. If it passes, CVS isn’t going anywhere

CVS threatened to close 134 pharmacies in Tennessee if a new bill passes that will prohibit any company from owning a pharmacy and pharmacy benefits manager at the same time “The bill is aimed at separating financial control over drug pricing from the pharmacies that ultimately dispense medications. It separates financial control from patient care decision making” CVS would rather pull out of an entire state than stop robbing Americans

BIG ‼️ CVS pharmacy could be closing all pharmacies in Tennessee Tennessee lawmakers are finally cracking down on Pharmacy Benefits Managers owning pharmacies and skyrocketing prices CVS would rather close all locations than stop robbing Americans “Tennessee is running CVS out of the state. Look at this letter from CVS. ‘A proposed law threatens to close all CVS pharmacies in the state of Tennessee.’ That's an aggressive sounding law. How are legislators justifying targeted business closures like CVS is suggesting here? Well, of course that's not the case. The law that CVS says will close all CVS pharmacies is SB 2040. The bill prohibits PBMs in the state from owning, operating or controlling pharmacies, and it aims to prohibit evasion of the law through corporate structuring, intermediary ownership management contracts, other stuff like that. So the bill is not closing pharmacies. It's stopping CVS Express Scripts and Optum the big PBMs from owning pharmacies. But to CVS, that means that they will close all their pharmacies. That means if CVS was forced to choose between their 132 brick and mortar pharmacies that they have on the corner of every major intersection, those corner store staples of Americana, they would rather shut all those down and board them up than give up their PBM. This is the same thing they said in as well, they would abandon the pharmacy business to retain the pharmacy middleman business. That should be a big waving red flag to anyone who's still uncertain about where the power lies and where the money goes. CVS isn't making their money when you go to the store. They're making their money. When your boss signs up with Aetna, then they have 10,000 levers they could pull to maximize their profit. Tennessee is taking a bold step that isn't even really that far down the road. It's only in committee, but that's enough to get CVS to start campaigning”

Just when you think CVS couldn't go lower. It appears that CVS may have engaged in practices that are very concerning. According to a legislator, CVS allegedly utilized patient data to create the false impression that patients were contacting legislators regarding legislation aimed at preventing insurance company PBMs from owning pharmacies. It seems patients were unaware of CVS's use of their data in this manner. It's time to put an end to their monopolistic ways. Arkansas House Democrats Arkansas House

Is Tennessee Really Forcing CVS Out? 🏥 There’s a lot of buzz about Tennessee “forcing” CVS to shut its doors. CVS even sent out a letter to customers claiming a new proposed law would shut down all its pharmacy locations in the state. 📨 But what’s the real story? Let’s dive into what's happening and why things might not be as they seem. 🕵️‍♂️ The Law: SB 2040 📜 The law in question is SB 2040. While CVS claims it will shut down their stores, the bill’s actual goal is to regulate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). 💊 What’s a PBM? 🏢 Think of a PBM as a middleman between insurance companies and pharmacies. They handle everything from negotiating drug prices to managing pharmacy networks. Why Is CVS Worried? 😟 The bill prohibits PBMs from owning, operating, or controlling pharmacies. 🛡️ CVS is one of the biggest PBMs in the country (through CVS Caremark). Under this law, they would have to choose: Keep their PBM business or their brick-and-mortar stores. 🏬 The Profit Puzzle 🧩 CVS makes a significant portion of its profit through its PBM and insurance (Aetna) arms. For them, it might be more profitable to shut down their physical stores than to give up their PBM business. 💰 This same threat was made in Arkansas, showing a pattern of prioritizing the middleman business over local pharmacies. 🚩 What’s Next? ⏳ SB 2040 is currently in the Senate Health and Welfare Committee. It’s still early days, but the pushback from major corporations like CVS shows just how much is at stake. 🏛️ Is this a bold step for pharmacy transparency, or a threat to patient access?

BIG NEWS: Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office has filed a lawsuit against CVS Caremark for Pharmacy Benefits Managers violations This is such a widespread and massive problem, Oklahoma had to create a new court - CVS Caremark PBM is denying covered medications - They are paying independent pharmacies less than the cost of medication (in many cases PAYING $0, “It's not uncommon for covered medications to pay literally $0 to the pharmacy” - The reimbursement that comes back to independent pharmacies is totally unrelated to the cost of the medication - “CVS still has the audacity to take your absurdly large premium and not use that to pay the healthcare providers you need to actually care for your health” (They literally pocket the money and pay independent pharmacies next to nothing, or NOTHING) “That's what the Oklahoma suit is about. They have a law that states the PBMs like CVS Caremark aren't allowed to pay less than the cost. Of course, that didn't stop them” “This case brings 200 prescriptions that were reimbursed under cost and denied on appeal by CVS. Oklahoma, in fact, established a whole new court tasked exclusively with PBM litigation.”

Tennessee just did what Congress can't. They passed a law to break up the health insurance giants. Specifically, they made it illegal for pharmacy benefit managers — the companies in charge of pharmacy insurance — and pharmacies to be owned by the same company. That makes perfect sense. For example: CVS Caremark is the PBM, and CVS is the pharmacy. So if you have Aetna insurance, you have CVS Caremark as your PBM, and they're going to do everything they can to make sure you use CVS as your pharmacy. Aetna, Caremark, CVS — all the same company. That causes all kinds of incredibly obvious problems that this law hopes to fix. If your insurance company is in charge of approving your medication, deciding how much to pay for it, AND deciding who gets that money — while also being the pharmacy that gets paid at the end — guess what happens to prices? They go up. Governor Lee signed the law last week. CVS immediately filed a federal lawsuit because they said it will force them to close all 136 stores they have in Tennessee. Let that sink in. I'm not sure most people realize what that says about CVS and health insurance in general. They had to choose between owning the middleman (the PBM) or the healthcare provider (the pharmacy). Without hesitation, they chose the middleman. The biggest pharmacy chain in the country — with a store on every corner — would drop all 136 of their Tennessee locations in a second if it means keeping their middleman business. It is more profitable for them to be a health insurance middleman getting between you and your healthcare than it is to actually provide the healthcare. That is the problem with healthcare in America. We have made the middleman so powerful that they've taken complete control of the entire system. Three PBMs — Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx — handle around 80% of all prescriptions in this country. How on earth can we expect healthcare to work well and remain affordable if that's where the money is? We all auto-pay our insurance straight out of our paycheck before we even see the money. And not surprisingly, they're keeping a ton of it. That's why we fired them. And they can't file a lawsuit to stop us. That lets us offer fair, transparent prices. No PBMs. No insurance games. No hidden markups. You see the cost, you pay the cost.

This is wild If you examine the generic Tylenol pills at CVS, Aldi and Costco you’ll notice the prices are very different - CVS is $6 for 24 tablets - Aldi is $1.69 for 100 tablets - Costco is $8 for 1,000 tablets If you examine the pills, they are all stamped with ‘L484’ this means they all produced by the same manufacturers or contracted suppliers that simply rebrand and package for different retailers They’re all the exact same medication I’ll break down the per pill cost for everyone - CVS: $0.25 per pill - Aldi: $0.017 per pill - Kirkland (Costco): $0.008 per pill Remember, these are all the exact same pills This is a classic example of private labeling in retail. The same factory produces the pills, and stores add their markup based on brand perception, convenience, packaging, and profit margins CVS charges a premium for the “pharmacy trust” factor You know what I call it? A scam

Yesterday, I traveled to Arkansas, the state that is the first to take the life-saving movement toward breaking up the health insurance and healthcare monopolies. "The bill will ban PBMs (Optum RX, CVS Caremark, & Express Scripts) from obtaining a license to own their own pharmacies in Arkansas. It will also force PBMs that currently own their own pharmacies here to sell those pharmacies by Jan. 26, 2026. It is a clear conflict of interest that the PBMs — which set reimbursement rates on drug costs for all pharmacies and determine which drugs a health plan will cover — should also own their own pharmacies. Time and time again, PBMs use this unfair advantage to generate a windfall of immense profit for themselves at the expense of patients. They steer patients to their own pharmacies — and they pay their own pharmacies a better reimbursement rate on drug costs than they do their local, independent competitors. The result: higher drug prices for all patients, fewer choices of where patients can obtain those drugs, and worse quality of care — as local pharmacies close." May Missouri & all other states be next as we await federal legislators to pull it together! Thank you to every beautiful person in our nation fighting for change, justice, & protection.

American pharmacy owner saw Elon Musk’s post on X and has the answer “Elon Musk is asking, what is a pharmacy benefits manager? Well, that one's easy: When you go to pick up your medication and they say, that'll be $10,000. And then you say, oh, how much is it without my insurance? What's the cash price? And they say, that'll be $3. That's a pharmacy benefits manager.” “Now, when you go to the pharmacy and you say, Hey, can I get this for three months so I don't have to come here every single month to pick up the same medication? And they say, no, you gotta come back again in 28 days. That's the pharmacy benefits manager.” “So when you go to the pharmacy and you say, can you guys just mail this to me? They say, no, you gotta come into the pharmacy to pick this up. That's your pharmacy benefits manager.” “When you get a new prescription from your doctor and then the insurance company says, we're gonna need a prior authorization for this medication. That's your pharmacy benefits manager.” “You know when you go to pick up your medicine from the pharmacy you've been going to for 10 years, and suddenly they tell you you can't get it there anymore, you have to go to CVS. That's your pharmacy benefits manager.” “They're right in the middle making everything a huge pain and super expensive”

CVS has been installing these new “chime” security devices in their candy isles If you want to get candy, you must lift the plastic and it notifies the store you got candy with a “chime” noise There isn’t a lock, it’s just an audible sound to alert the store. Some Americans have said these are equivalent to “fat shaming” because they are mainly seen on the candy isles We don’t have to live like this

You know how they lock up goods behind plastic barriers at Target and CVS? Some parts of LA have locked up sidewalks/walk paths by putting up chain link fences to prevent homeless from returning with tents and RVs. This one is on Rose in West LA near Lincoln Blvd outside the Penmar golf course and goes for at least half a mile. This eyesore has been there for years. Spencer Pratt isn’t lying.

I just walked into CVS in D.C. and you have to ask an employee to unlock the door if you want to buy garbage bags and paper towels I asked why? “People steal.” The employee then explained that in D.C. they don’t hold criminals so they have organized rings who steal then hand it to others to resell it. The robbers can steal up to a certain amount worth and will be released each time so they max out. This is not a third world country. This is our nation’s capital. This is what Democrats are doing to our cities.

CVS just settled its latest fraud case, and for once the fine was big enough to actually hurt. It cost them $440 million, and as a bonus it bankrupted the guilty subsidiary and forced CVS to sell it off. The company was Omnicare, a pharmacy that supplies medications to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. CVS bought it in 2015. That same year, a former Omnicare pharmacist filed a whistleblower lawsuit, and the Justice Department joined the case in 2019. The scheme was simple and it ran for years. Omnicare kept dispensing drugs on stale, expired prescriptions and billing the government for them over and over. From 2010 to 2018 that added up to more than 3.3 million false claims and about $135.6 million in overpayments from taxpayers. A federal jury reached its verdict in April 2025. The judge did not mince words, calling it deliberate, egregious, and a very big fraud on the government. Then came the math that made it sting. Under the False Claims Act, damages get tripled. So that $135.6 million ballooned to $406.8 million, and the government asked for another $542 million in penalties on top. The court entered a total judgment of about $948.8 million. CVS ultimately agreed to pay $440 million to resolve it, with the first chunk due almost immediately. Here is the part that makes this different from every other settlement. The penalty was not a rounding error the company could shrug off as the cost of doing business. It broke the unit that did the fraud. Omnicare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2025, and earlier this year CVS announced it is selling Omnicare to a company called GenieRx. So a business CVS bought in 2015 is now being sold off in the wreckage of its own fraud case. That is the lesson. It is actually possible to make a fine big enough to change behavior instead of just becoming a line item. Now we just have to scale that up. But honestly, why wait on fines at all? There is already a faster tool sitting right there. When an individual violates the False Claims Act, they can lose the privilege of participating in federal programs like Medicare. Imagine how quickly the fraud would vanish if that same exclusion got applied to the giant repeat offenders who keep doing this. Kick them off the program and watch how fast the behavior changes. While we wait for that day, here is my pitch. We built a pharmacy where it is literally impossible to pull this kind of thing, because you see the price before you pay it. No hidden claims, no secret markups, no middleman in a position to overbill anyone. Just the real number, up front. Imagine that.

Jack Hibbs says California Bill AB 495 is the most dangerous bill we’ve seen from Democrats “It allows an individual to obtain this new form — They fill it out and they can name a child” and take them out of school without contacting the parent “The bill does not require a background check for this man, requires no identification, no driver's license, no nothing. There's no requirement in the bill for the school to call you to ask you if it's okay if John. John takes your daughter out of school.” “The meat market bill. It is a trafficking bill” “If this bill passes, I am going to ask you to leave the state of California. You're going to need to pack up and you're going to have to get out. You got to get out. You got to run with your kids. You got to go.”

It is a trafficking bill” “If this bill passes, I am going to ask you to leave the state of California. You're going to need to pack up and you're going to have to get out. You got to get out. You got to run with your kids. You got to go.”
