CVS to buy Atena Health Insurance for $69 Billion

[Jimi Swagger]

Smart power play for CVS to run interference after Amazon has received approval for wholesale pharmacy licenses in several states for dispensing and is looking to enter into pharmacy services. Amazon is also looking to offer to hospitals, labs and government agencies, as well as interaction with cloud services business. Wonder if Besos will court Walgreens.

Everyone who hated the AT&T merger should be up in arms over this.

But they won't.

As you can see in this thread, Alot of people myself included didn't even know CVS is a beast.
