#10  In a related benefit:

They include the seven largest ph@^macy chains in the country: CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Cigna, Optum Rx, Walmart Stores, Inc., The Kroger Company, and Rite Aid Corporation. The lawmakers also spoke with Amazon Ph@^macy.

All eight of the ph@^macies said they do not require law enforcement to have a warrant prior to sharing private and sensitive medical records, which can include the prescription drugs a person used or uses and their medical conditions. Instead, all the ph@^macies hand over such information with nothing more than a subpoena, which can be issued by government agencies and does not require review or approval by a judge.

#9  One of the benefits is that a side effect will be a disassociation between item and price, so shoppers will be more likely to walk out with a $50 burger and shake combo and not know a thing about it. Or care.

Oh, a benefit for you? Why would you think this is a benefit for you?
