LOL
And you have not explained how it would work without Walgreens and CVS. Walmart is in the mix too. They are the three largest pharmacies in the US (which, in and of itself, proves there is no "monopoly"). Rite Aid is restructuring, so it is not doing well. Who is going to actually serve people in rural areas if the big 3 are not? A whiny Uber driver from Itasca certainly isn't going to do it.

Mail order swamps them all.

Not sure it does, but it should be an option, but going to the pharmacy gives seniors something to do I bet.

I don't love any of those things. CVS is not a monopoly.

It would be nice if you occasionally knew the definitions of the words you threw around as accusations. But that is the Progressives and Trunpers Playbook.

Take it up with AOC and the Google Machine.

So she does not understand the law. Unsurprising. It is not as if Aetna is the only insurer out there.

If you are insured by Aetna, CVS runs the whole show it appears. Aetna has 11% of the US health insuraance market. Their practices may be (probably are) illegal due to the vertical integration, but to call them a "monopoly," under US law, I believe you have to have a far larger market share.

 The Rockerfeller's Standard Oil's  control of the US oil industry, through vertical and horizontal integration, was 80 or 90% of the US market.

The local pharmacies also have employees who live locally.
Support your local businesses.

And the profits are shipped to a PO Box in Delaware.

That’s a lot like saying shop WalMart to help out your local WalMart employees.
