CBS Evening News managing editor and anchor Norah O’Donnell interviewed CVS Health CEO Karen Lynch about the state of healthcare in America and her new book Taking Up Space: Get Heard, Deliver Results, and Make a Difference.

The following excerpt was provided by CBS Evening News:

• O’Donnell: The Biden Administration came out with new rules that would allow the abortion pill, Mifepristone, to be sold at pharmacies instead of only being available at a doctor's office or a hospital. CVS stores are now carrying this. Was that a difficult decision to make?
• Lynch: Our North Star is that we support women's health and that we are committed to making sure that women have access to reproductive health services, education, and FDA approved products. So that’s a decision we make because we know women need access to health.
• O’Donnell: How big of an issue [have] been burglaries?
• Lynch: It’s a problem for us. Organized retail theft is a big problem… They're mostly organized people that are doing it and they're coming in, they're clearing shelves off, and then reselling them.
