With Aetna Deal, CVS Looks To Turn Stores Into Health Care Hubs
By combining a health insurer with a drugstore chain, CVS is looking to provide more care from its network of stores. The deal would also give the merged companies more clout with drugmakers.
CVS Health is looking to create a national network of community medical clinics that will serve as "America's front door to quality health care."

To get there, CVS agreed to pay $69 billion
