Today in Louisiana History:

April 17, 1837
Dr. Tichenor was born in Ohio County, Kentucky, today in 1837. George H. Tichenor had served in the Confederate Army as an assistant surgeon. While at this post, he developed the original Dr. Tichenor's antiseptic formula. In 1863, he was wounded in a battle near New Albany, Mississippi, and saved his leg using the formula. Tichenor's reputation would later suffer from his intransigence in not allowing his methods to be used on Union soldiers. After the war, he was encouraged to manufacture and sell his amazing germ-killing formula. He practiced medicine in Baton Rouge from 1869-1887. He died in 1923 and is buried in Innis in Pointe Coupee Parish.

Big business pharmacy middlemen called PBMs (Pharmacy Benefit Managers) control most prescriptions. 😠

They are huge billion-dollar companies (like Fortune 500 giants). 💰

They pay our small local drug store way LESS money than it actually costs us to buy the medicine + put it in the bottle + hand it to you. 📉

We lose money every time we fill many of those prescriptions! 💸😔

But we have no choice…
If we say “no” to their contracts, we lose about 90% of our patients overnight. 🚫👥

We are just one tiny, locally owned community pharmacy.

They don’t care if we say yes or no — they have all the power. ⚖️❌

They ignore how important we are to our town:
• We help patients every day as the most trusted healthcare pros (surveys show it year after year!) 🩺❤️
• We donate thousands of dollars to local charities 🎁🤝
• We keep healthcare close and easy for everyone in our community 🏡

They only care about their own huge profits and making stockholders happy. 📈💰

And guess what?
These same big PBMs own their own pharmacies — which are our direct competition! 🏪 vs 🏪
It actually makes them more money if small stores like ours close…
Fewer local pharmacies = more prescriptions go to THEIR stores (mail order and brick and mortar stores) = even bigger profits for them. 😡

This isn’t fair. Small community pharmacies are hurting, and patients could lose their trusted local spot.
We need change! ✊

We have many bills this session and federally to fight these huge vertically integrated monopolies. Please support locally owned hometown pharmacies by calling your legislators and saying please PASS PBM REFORM!
