The House Judiciary Committee said CVS Caremark may have violated antitrust laws by forcing independent pharmacies not to work with online pharmaceutical hubs in order to stifle competition. Internal documents, the committee said, showed the company used audits and cease-and-desists to force independents to stop working with those hubs, all in service of increasing profits.
The committee stated that while CVS claimed the anticompetitive tactics were all about fraud prevention, the giant, vertically consolidated corporation failed to provide a single instance of such fraud. It also noted that the company had changed those practices only once the committee's investigation had begun.
