This was really eye opening for me. A couple of years ago I was on Aetna's medicare part D plan, and got started on a really expensive prescription drug. Aetna required that the prescription came from CVS. I wasn't aware until this video that Aetna and CVS are the same company.

This video presents a moral dilemma to me. The scam is being exposed by AOC. I think everything she does is bad, yet in this case I think it's good. Don't know what to think now.
Wrong thread, by the way. This is NOT funny.
One would think that the Aetna-CVS-drug manufacturer triangle thing she mentioned would be a monopolistic-type of practice and disallowed somewhat like when our gov't. broke up the Telco (AT&T/Bell System/Western Electric) into the "Baby Bells" back in the early 80's because of anti-trust practices. It seems that our Fair Trade Commission has been nonexistant since as evidenced by AT&T being allowed to takeover DirecTV circa 2015.

Some FTC offical likely got a nice surprise "under the table" then and it's still happening today with the health insurance companies.

PLEASE READ: I don't blame you for asking "Why the heck is this guy posting a "How-To" video in the Funny/Satire thread." Here's why: Believe it or not, I don't know all there is to know about everything so I watch a video from time to time (not addicted like Arjun....yet) or read to learn new things, how to do something quicker, faster, cheaper OR...how NOT to do them. Most of y'all likely know someone who has a cousin that calls himself "an electrician" and when you see his work you come to understand that for way too many folks, they figure if they can make a light bulb come on they are officially "an electrician." Based on that factoid I like to see a few claims online just for giggles.

Anyway, this guy had me belly laughing so loudly my wife came into the office/Blue Iris server room where I live 24/7/365 can be found on occasions to see what was so funny. His editing and soundbyte insertions are flawless, IMO. Don't get me wrong, not saying he's all laughs, there is something worthwhile here to be absorbed. Hopefully you not only will learn something new you'll have a few laughs like I did. :lmao:
