It seems Merck goes beyond agressive accounting. Your ex may need luck and a lawyer. Merck's Medco unit, which manages pharmacy-benefit programs for employers and health insurers, included as part of its revenue the co -payments collected by pharmacies from patients, even though Medco doesn't receive those funds. The market is going to have a tough time so long as it appears that a major company is going to announce something like this every week or two. TP
