Excellent dispatch, thank you.

Regarding CVS and RiteAid closures...after their heyday of pushing smaller pharmacies out of business...I flashed to this piece from Fortune magazine in 2015.

#1 on the list? CVS. 2014 revenue of $139.4 billion, YoY increase in revenue of nearly 10%.

These top ten companies alone made over $1 trillion in 2014 with Obamacare. Equivalent of $1.34 trillion today.

That gravy train was supposed to continue FOREVER, farming the ills flesh is heir to and making everyone profit cattle for Pharma by government diktat.
