Pharmacy has touched in health care more than any other area. On average, the person picks up the prescription every 30 days.

So when you look at that, they're in the pharmacy 12 times a year.

Well, hello there and welcome to the Barron Streetwise podcast.

I'm Jack Howe and the voice you just heard, that's Lisa Gill.

She's a health care analyst at J.P. Morgan, and she's talking about CVS.

It takes like two weeks to get a new pair and so all I have are drugstore readers and I can't see out of those things
