I think you need to go to the OIG.gov and look into this report,
Before you dismiss this event.
If nothing else.. It will give you a look at the Pharmacy chain players and who signed off on these contracts.
As for the Tabacco(CVS) issue, it is a well researched position that will cause Walgreens to fall in line again, do you recall the Esrx dispute? or the $4.00 co-pay.
