Just heard that McKesson is buying Owens and Minor to get back into hospitals and custom packs. Anyone else hearing this?
owens numbers 10 billion. 66 mil profit. what does mck gain? Hammergrens pay? they exited hospital business doe to lack of scale and profitability. lets say they gain access to hosp owned docs. At what margin? Hospital margin is low. Selling docs at those margins is trading dollars, and not a good business plan. Will the hospitals pay more to deal with the industry leader? Maybe medline can buy them. They like trading dollars.
McKesson should buy Medline and clean up this place. Too many bad apples running things, inexperienced thugs posing as sales reps and toxic imported counterfeit product plaguing the industry.
