Well, that was fast. Previously, it took over three years between OmniCare posts; this time it's less than three weeks:
"PharMerica Corp. said Monday it hopes ... Omnicare Inc. will drop its $457 million takeover bid in the face of the federal government's suit late Friday to block the deal ... The Federal Trade Commission said a combination of the nation's two biggest long-term care pharmacies would raise the cost of Medicare Part D prescription plans"
Hey, wait a minute.
Did I just hear the gummint say that competition is a good thing and that fewer choices is a bad one?
Has anyone clued in HHS Secretary Shecantbeserious?
Because that's exactly the opposite of what she's been advocating.
