CVS and UnitedHealth request recusal of FTC Chair Lina Khan in upcoming case

CVS and UnitedHealth have formally requested that Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairwoman Lina Khan and two other commissioners refrain from participating in an upcoming case involving pharmacy brokerage services. This request was made public through a recent announcement and details were shared on an online platform, highlighting companies’ concerns about potential bias that could influence the outcome of the case.

The companies argue that the presence of President Khan and specified commissioners could influence the proceedings due to their previous statements and actions related to regulation of the industry. This development has sparked discussions among business and legal experts about the implications for fairness and impartiality in regulatory practices.

As the case progresses, the focus remains on how the FTC will respond to these recusal requests and the impact this will have on the case involving major players in the pharmaceutical industry. This situation highlights the current complexities of regulatory oversight in markets critical to public health and consumer well-being.
