Call me old-fashioned, but I think it should be a bigger story that a sitting Republican member of Congress is missing, nobody knows where he is, yet he’s somehow still insider trading.
@briandstone@mcuban@calisurfsup I was on ACA while working contract and I paid $610 monthly with a deductible/max out of pocket of 7/10k.
Healthcare through employer now is $71/mo with deductible/max out of pocket at 2/5k.
I wish more people knew how incestuous healthcare companies really are
Say for example you have Aetna insurance & you go to your local CVS to pick up a prescription, you hand over your insurance card, you pay your copay, you walk out with the drug
You just paid three companies, your insurer (Aetna), the PBM that negotiated the price (CVS Caremark), & the pharmacy that dispensed it (CVS Pharmacy)
They might look like three separate businesses but they’re not
All three are owned by the SAME parent corporation, CVS Health
