McKesson-owned independent pharmacy franchise network
Health Mart
Industry Health
A McKesson-owned franchise network for locally owned independent pharmacies. Health Mart scores in the middle because local pharmacy ownership is better than chain consolidation for many communities, but McKesson ownership, PBM contracting dependence, and franchise economics keep it far below fully independent or cooperative care infrastructure.
Why this matters: Health Mart can point consumers toward local pharmacies, but the parent supply-chain company still matters.
Letter grade D Extractive High confidence (AI) Rubric gcd-rubric-v1 Parent / owner: McKesson
Health Mart is listed because consumers see the pharmacy brand, while McKesson ownership and supply-chain control remain material.
* Tentative scaffolding score. Not human-checked or final.
Request verification to have the evidence record checked against primary materials and organization-supplied documents. Verification does not buy a higher score; scores change only when review finds factual errors, omissions, or miscalibration.
The parent profile is currently rated F (Malignant, -7*). This subsidiary is not mechanically capped at the parent score, but parent control is part of the ownership, governance, policy, accountability opacity, reversibility, and harm analysis.

|
3 / 10 |

|
Labor Sovereignty

Unemployed
?
Treatment of exits and nonworkers, including severance, redeployment,
and non-competes.
|
5 / 7 |
Health Mart operates in an everyday-need category where job loss, illness, rent pressure, family-care obligations, tax compliance, utility dependence, or household instability affects bargaining power. Linked evidence
|
Loss-Bearing Fidelity
?
Willingness to absorb costs to preserve values, workers, users, and
public obligations.
|
4 / 7 |
Health Mart's product or service can absorb real household, civic, care, housing, energy, or tax-compliance risk, but the record also shows who bears costs when the institution fails or prices rise. Linked evidence

Pricing fairness, switching costs, lock-in, and rent extraction.
|
4 / 5 |

|
Product Integrity
?
Preservation of quality rather than degradation for monetization.
|
4 / 5 |

|
Scale Integrity
?

enforcement, trade, labor, safety, competition, environmental,
healthcare, housing, surveillance, civil-liberties, or consumer policy

ecological life. Public-interest advocacy is not penalized merely
because it is lobbying. Range: -15 to 0.

-2 |

structures that prevent public accountability. Range: -2 to 0.
