Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are quietly raking in hidden profits through spread pricing and rebate collection. When these PBMs are vertically integrated, they manipulate their structure to shift and obscure funds within their own operations. They may claim they can’t reimburse their own pharmacies more than independent ones—a claim that’s highly questionable—but the real money is in spread pricing.

If insurance providers were prohibited from owning PBMs, they would have no choice but to negotiate fairly, ensuring that spread pricing and rebates benefit the insurance plan itself. This shift would easily cover reasonable dispensing fees for pharmacies while keeping the market competitive. PBMs would return to their rightful role—simply transferring funds rather than exploiting the system.

It’s time for real reform. Let’s put an end to these hidden profit schemes and build a fairer, more transparent system

Independent pharmacists urged lawmakers to adopt a PBM proposal to limit their powers, but the bill didn't move.

⚠️ Attention District 18 Residents! Your voice matters! ⚠️

SB 140, a bill that could significantly impact access to healthcare, has passed the Appropriations Committee and is now headed to the Senate Floor for a reading and vote. Your State Senator, Senator Donato, needs to hear from you about this important issue.

Without this bill, local pharmacies are at risk of closure due to predatory reimbursement practices by PBMs, or “drug pricing middlemen.” This isn’t just about policy; it’s about protecting our community’s access to essential medications.

Take action today by contacting Senator Stacey Donato and urging her to support SB 140. Let her know that protecting local pharmacies and patient care must be a priority.

Together, we can make a difference. Please share this post and spread the word to ensure our voices are heard!
