[Text: Heart at work]
[A senior woman (JoAnne) walks down a hallway wearing a red T-shirt that reads “Columbus Women’s Club.”]
JoAnne enters a room, speaking: Oh, you beat me.
Another woman’s voice, off-screen: Hi, JoAnne.
[JoAnne laughs and sits at a table, surrounded by other seniors. The table is filled with blankets and knitting materials.]
JoAnne, speaking: Alright. Let the fun begin. We're going to finish up 22 blankets. They're going to go to the Police, Fire and EMT.
[Cut to a woman, Angela Palmier, Caremark Project Manager, seated at her desk.]
Angela, speaking: You know, she's not just alive. She's living.
[JoAnne walks to her car. A bumper sticker reads “Senior Driver: Please be patient.” She starts the engine, drives and pauses at a stop sign. She beeps the horn.]
Joanne, calling out the window: Hi, Debbie!
[Cut back to Angela, seated.]
Angela, speaking: She’s 86. She's got high blood pressure. She's got atrial fibrillation. She's had kidney issues. She's had two heart attacks, a quadruple bypass.
[Cut to Angela and JoAnne, playing dominoes together.]
Angela, placing domino and speaking: Uh, let’s go here. I’m constructing your takedown right now.
[JoAnne places a domino of her own.]
Joanne, speaking: Maybe. One left.
[Cut back to Angela, seated. We see a photo of a younger Angela, standing and wearing a graduation cap and gown, next to JoAnne in a hospital bed.]
Angela, speaking: She had a heart attack in a part of her heart where less than 4% of the people that have it, survive. You're instantly like this six-year-old scared kid. “What do you mean? Where's my mom? You know. What's going on?” So it was tough.
[Text: Angela is a colleague with Caremark, the Pharmacy Benefits Manager, who negotiates discounts on drug prices. Thanks to Caremark, in 2002 nearly 70% of members spent less than $100 out-of-pocket on prescriptions.]
[Angela dials into a virtual meeting.]
Angela, speaking through computer screen: Good morning. Hi, Jenice!
[Cut back to Angela, seated.]
Angela, speaking: It was important for me to join a company that has an emphasis on health care. We stand there negotiating, pulling every lever possible that we can to make sure that patients can get their medications at an affordable price. We’re the good guys.
[Cut to Jenice Minnis, Angela’s manager. Jenice appears seated in her living room.]
Jenice, speaking: It's important because we have, you know, so many customers, especially the elderly, who are on fixed incomes and, you know, if we can make their prescription therapies affordable, it's going to keep them on those therapies.
[Angela and JoAnne walk through a CVS, approaching the pharmacy counter.]
Angela, speaking: She's prescribed 16 different medications.
Pharmacist, speaking: Hey Angela. How’s it going?
[Angela and JoAnne smile.]
Angela, speaking offscreen: My mom's not afraid of dying. She's afraid of not being able to afford her medications when she goes to the pharmacy counter.
[Cut to JoAnne Odom, Angela’s mom, seated in a living room with warm brown furniture.]
JoAnne, speaking: I have an excellent insurance broker. She compared prices with three drugstores. She said, “Well, CVS is your best bet.”
[Cut back to Angela and JoAnne in store, at the pharmacy counter.]
Angela, speaking: If there is a coupon to be had, Jennifer will find it.
Joanne, speaking: Yeah, that’s right.
[Text: CVS Pharmacy offers an option to link caregivers to patients’ profiles.]
[Cut to Jennifer Kienlen, CVS Pharmacist, seated behind the pharmacy counter.]
Jennifer, speaking: I really have been trying to get my customers to add their caregivers, add their family members, link their profiles together. Sometimes we need somebody to step in and to be our advocate because she just don't have the strength to fight it.
[Cut back to Angela, seated.]
Angela, speaking: I love my mom. I'm so grateful that she's living a happy, full, healthy life, running circles around all of us.
[JoAnne walks into a nail salon and greets her manicurist.]
JoAnne, speaking: Can I change my color in a couple weeks?
Nail technician, speaking: Sure!
[Cut back to Angela, seated.]
Angela, speaking: And CVS and Caremark are a big part of that. They're making it possible.
[Cut back to Angela and JoAnne, playing dominoes.]
JoAnne, laughing: I just happen to have a six!
Angela, speaking: Fun game.
