I would not think that CVS, as a retailer, has much incentive - it is not paying the cost of the branded drugs. It is the insurance companies that I half-expected to make this move, unless there are anti-trust issues, or specific legislation (bought by the drug companies) to prevent them from doing so.



You're right! It's insurance companies and benefit managers that are heavily concerned with this.

CVS is acquiring Aetna and is one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers around.
