Healthcare benefits manager CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) has been a regular appearance on Jim Cramer’s morning show recently. This is because the worsening public sentiment against benefits managers and President-elect Trump’s aim to ‘take down the middleman’ have created jitters among investors. CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) has been particularly important since not only has it struggled with high costs that have prompted a potential spin-off of its Medicare business, but the firm has also been sued by the Justice Department for contributing to the opioid crisis. This suit has consistently caught Cramer’s attention:

“I mean it’s an existential lawsuit. I mean, DOJ I think has had it with the company. They’re gonna make that to use an example. That company’s balance sheet, Intel’s balance sheet, is something that looks like a nightmare. Intel’s balance sheet is a nightmare. Why aren’t we seeing cash flow?

“CVS has a huge amount of debt. Intel has a huge amount of debt. Their cash flows are challenged, both companies.”
