Lawmakers Seek Pharmacy Divestment

The video discusses a bipartisan proposal involving Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley, aimed at forcing major healthcare companies like CVS Health, Cigna Group, and United Health Group to divest their pharmacy operations. The proposal addresses concerns about pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and their potential conflicts of interest, which critics argue lead to higher drug prices for consumers. The draft legislation was released recently, causing market reactions, but it is unlikely to advance in the current congressional session. The video also explores the potential stance of the incoming Trump administration on this issue, noting that past efforts to regulate PBMs have faced challenges.
