CVS-Aetna merger is not about the minute clinic, Aetna CEO says
CVS Health’s recent acquisition of Aetna has sparked talk of a pharmacy of the future, in which CVS’s walk-in “minute clinics” offer more services, and in a more accessible way than traditional health care. Bertolini, who has previously compared this goal to Apple’s (AAPL) Genius Bar, said CVS stores and services could become a “tent without walls,” by say, encouraging an individual with Type 1 diabetes named Sally to exercise a certain amount and keep her hemoglobin levels below a certain point.

Investors have shrugged off Trump drug price plan, but it is still early days
The FDA released a list of drugmakers it said are getting in the way of generic drug development. Stocks of pharmacy benefit managers and biotech companies still outperformed the market. The biopharma and drug supply chain sectors outperformed the market last week, even as Trump administration officials pressed the president's blueprint to lower drug prices, with tough rhetoric for drugmakers and public shaming of pharmaceutical firms for supposedly blocking competition.

Signs abound that the Trump administration plans to take tough action against pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, including CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) and Express Scripts Holding Company (NASDAQ:ESRX), in order to lower the price of prescription drugs. Consequently, investors should sell CVS stock and Express Scripts stock. The clearest sign of the impending fate of the PBMs is that President Trump himself said that the administration was “very much eliminating” the prescription drug “middlemen.” Trump added that “The middlemen became very, very rich.

U.S. to consider expanding Medicare drug price negotiation
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, May 14 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is considering expanding Medicare's ability to negotiate the cost of drugs by giving private payers a role in setting the price of medicines administered in hospitals and doctors' offices, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said on Monday. Azar's comments provided more details on the plan to lower prescription drug costs for Americans announced on Friday by President Donald Trump. While Trump assailed "middlemen," an apparent reference to health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), for pocketing negotiated rebates on drugs rather than passing savings to consumers, the proposal discussed on Monday appears to see them as part of the solution to high prices.

[$$] Reckoning for Drug Middlemen Is Postponed, Not Canceled
Healthcare investors who were on the edges of their seats on Friday afternoon were relieved. Share prices of potentially-affected “middlemen” such as pharmacy-benefit managers, and to a lesser extent health insurers, fell sharply but then rebounded within minutes in late trading. After all, Mr. Trump’s comments were characteristically vague and didn’t unveil any immediate action to cut drug spending that might harm the profitability of companies like Express Scripts Holding or CVS Health.
