I do not see what this practice has to do with the Affordable Care Act. Just good business acumen.
So how does this become a good thing to the family that has prescription coverage through Caremark but does not have a tobacco-free pharmacy in their area to fill the 10 day script for their child's augmentin? They should be penalized because they don't live near a tobacco-free pharmacy?
