UnitedHealth, CVS, and Cigna stock prices take another hit after Trump says he’s going to ‘knock out’ drug industry middlemen
Frustration with healthcare, including pharmacy benefit managers (PMBs), continues to make news in the weeks following Brian Thompson’s death.
Shares in major healthcare companies fell yesterday after president-elect Donald Trump made comments that he wanted to “knock out” prescription drug industry middlemen. The fall makes this yet another week since the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson that the business practices of companies that operate America’s private healthcare system have come under increased scrutiny.
