In an interview with MarketWatch, President Dexter Braff gave insight regarding the potential merger between CVS and Aetna. Consumers may see lower costs for prescription drugs whether it’s directly through an Aetna/CVS plan or from other insurers being forced to lower their prices from the merger.
“The cost for consumers is going to be negligible. In fact it may actually wind up being something that’s a little bit cheaper for them.”

Dexter also explains the possibility of consumers recieving preventative care more conveniently as CVS offers a chain of walk-in clinics called MinuteClinic.
