The American company CVS Health is considering the possibility of splitting the business worth 117 billion dollars, writes the financial magazine. A retail pharmacy chain, which generates a third of its $417 billion in annual revenue, could be taken as a separate public company. Aetna's insurance division, acquired in 2018 for $78 billion, and prescription benefits operator Caremark will remain part of a single structure. The reorganization is being discussed amid legislative initiatives in the US to ban joint ownership of pharmacies and dispensaries.
