We have until June 14th to get SF383 signed into law to save pharmacies, ensure patient choice, and limit the monopolistic powers of PBMs in Iowa.

Thank you to the Iowa Senate and House for passing SF 383 this session. This bill will positively change the lives of many pharmacists, Iowans and family businesses. Governor Kim Reynolds please sign SF 383, a PBM Reform bill that is needed to protect our patients and communities.

Thank you again for everyone that has contacted any legislator over these past 3+ months. We have made incredible progress on making sure Iowans can maintain their choice of pharmacy for the future.
However, we have one step left, and that is getting SF383 signed by the Govenor’s office. Governor Reynolds has 30 days from last Thursday to sign this bill into law!
Please contact her office any way you can to let her know you want PBMs to be held accountable in Iowa!
You can still use this link, it has been updated to go directly to her office! You can also call or send her a written letter.
Thank you all for your support in making sure Iowans continue to have access to their pharmacy of choice!

😡 We are angry-Please Read and Share this so everyone that you care about in Iowa sees it 😡
Picture this, this pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is running ads in your area just letting everyone know not to worry if they close your local pharmacy down (independent or chain-this is a pharmacy problem). They have a mail order option (that they own and pay more) which will take multiple days or weeks to get to you. Your doctor may have prescribed the medication today but you'll be fine a couple more days... hopefully. They aren't worried about you though because they don't know you, they know numbers and the most important number in their eyes is profit. The Iowa Legislature has a chance to reform PBMs and ensure that PATIENTS have the freedom to decide where they obtain their medications and that pharmacies are paid a fair rate. The data says insurance premiums in states that have PBM reform in place actually increase at a lower rate than in Iowa (West Virginia for example). I'm so tired of watching my fellow pharmacy owners and pharmacy managers worry if their community will be without a pharmacy at this time next year if something isn't done now. That's the deal though, they actually care about the patients and the communities they live in so they worry constantly, cut staff, cut pay, work 65 hours a week. This is real and while we are very fortunate to be in the position we are at Wells Hometown Drug, other good men and women in pharmacy across the state are on the brink of closure leading to pharmacy deserts, your family not having access to a pharmacist they know and trust, their meds being stored in unsafe conditions, your elderly relative headed to a facility because their local pharmacy that went the extra mile is gone. It's not bad business that is leading pharmacies to close, it's a rigged system that needs reformed NOW. If you feel strongly please fill out the link below to send a message to your legislators. I want to thank you all personally for reading this and giving a darn about the future of pharmacy in our state-Mylo.

BIG INSURANCE and PBMs profit off your pills and let pharmacies across the state collapse. Pass PBM reform for all Iowans and all Iowa pharmacies.

BIG INSURANCE and PBMs would rather see your pharmacy close than lose a cent of their profits off your meds.

Iowa legislators are debating passing SF383 tomorrow. It’s vital this legislation passes. Iowa has lost 29 pharmacies since the beginning of 2024 and more will for sure close if this isn’t passed.
Please take a second to fill out this form and send to your state legislators. It takes about 30 seconds.
