Discontinued operations [Abstract]  
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company's end-of-life hospice pharmacy business ("Hospice") as well as certain retail operations ("Retail") qualified for discontinued operations treatment. In July 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of the Hospice business, which is subject to certain regulatory and other closing conditions. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $40 million to reduce the carrying value of Hospice to fair value. Additionally in the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company finalized the sale of Retail for net proceeds of approximately $6 million. The results from operations for all periods presented reflect the results of Hospice and Retail as discontinued operations.
