Named by a senior senator as an example of vertical integration and targeted by proposed legislation, increasing regulatory and political risk for CVS.
Sen. Warren explicitly cited CVS as an example of vertical integration and backed legislation (Patients Before Monopolies Act) that would limit common ownership of PBMs and pharmacies, increasing regulatory and political risk for CVS.

Called out alongside CVS as an example of vertical integration and therefore exposed to the same legislative and antitrust scrutiny.
