From an Anthem email I just received:

"Earlier today, our parent company announced it entered into an agreement to acquire 1-800 CONTACTS"

Oh, goody!

Now, if they'd only pick up PetMeds, we'd be in business.

Oh, you're probably wondering why WellPoint scooped up the contact lens retailer. Well, according to their press release, WP is looking to expand its non-insurance business.

And who can blame them?
