CVS Health is the parent company to Aetna insurance, CVS Caremark PBM, and CVS Pharmacy chain among others (mostly medication related like infusions care, specialty pharmacy services, long term healthcare, etc.).

And I read somewhere that CVS store employees don't get the better healthcare version that their own company owns.

I worked at CVS when they bought Aetna... The insurance offered to employees got worse.

Everybody's insurance gets worse pretty much every year. And that's for the "lucky" ones that can afford it.
