Break up CVS

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she intends to break up CVS next year, arguing that the company’s decision to shed one part of its business followed months of pressure and was meant to get ahead of Congress reining it in. She frames the breakup as a response to CVS’s monopoly and says the company’s move will not stop further action. Her statement is a future intention, not an enacted policy commitment, and does not specify the mechanism she would use.

Context: The statement does not identify a specific legislative or regulatory mechanism.

In their own words

Next year, we’re breaking them up.
