Owners of small pharmacies — many themselves members of local chambers of commerce — are accusing the Ohio Chamber of Commerce of siding with huge corporate middlemen who are driving them out of business.

Why are Independent pharmacies struggling and why am I being steered toward CVS and Insurance mailorder pharmacies?

CVS Pharmacy merged with Caremark (PBM - middleman) then acquired Aetna an insurance company to form the golden trifecta of vertical integration. Caremark their PBM facilitates over 20% of all the prescriptions filled in America.
By controlling reimbursements in over 1 out of every 5 prescriptions in America they've been able to underpay competitors (independents, Walgreens, etc.) and overpay themselves to grow exponentially. The persistent underwater reimbursements have led to the closure of thousands of independent pharmacies and as we've seen lately Walgreens as well.
It's not a coincidence that right after Walgreens was acquired by a private equity firm and closed hundreds of stores, that CVS unveils the final chapter of their plan. Now with so many pharmacies having closed, they will move into those areas and put in their own mini pop-up pharmacies.
CVS is an oligopoly that controls the majority of the market. Once they're in control of these rural areas in our country where they assisted in forcing independents to close, who will stop them from doing whatever they want? Limiting access to healthcare, overcharging prices, poor customer service, etc. There will be zero accountability and no one to compete against them.
Healthcare overall has suffered tremendously due to the corrupt practices of PBMs and will continue to do more damage with this move. Support your independent pharmacies.

Access to affordable prescription medication begins and ends with access to community pharmacies!Unfortunately, big insurance monopolies and middlemen known as pharmacy benefit managers are putting Main Street pharmacies out of business, gouging...

Small town pharmacies need PBM reform.

As Congressional momentum to pass pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform builds, the PBM industry has launched a misleading, last-ditch effort ad campaign to stop reform.

Help Us Flood Capitol Hill on PBM Reform:
Send Letters in our Virtual Hill Day!

As hundreds from 50 states travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) is calling on YOU to participate in our biggest letter-writing campaign EVER.

You might not be with us here in Washington at our event, but you can still be “with” us by telling Congress to enact PBM reforms – TODAY!

Time is of the essence to convince Congress it’s time to finish the PBM reform work it started. Now more than ever, PBM profits are soaring while they make people pay more for their medicines and make it impossible for pharmacies of any size to stay open. People and communities across this country rely on their pharmacies. The clock is ticking for Congress to pass real PBM reform for Medicare and Medicaid. See the NACDS television ad warning against squandering the chance to protect Americans’ access to the pharmacies and pharmacists they trust and rely upon.

We will not be able to build support for these critical pro-patient and pro-pharmacy policies without YOUR help! Pharmacy advocates from around the country will be meeting with Congress. Join them NOW by taking 5 minutes to do YOUR part to fight for pharmacy. Visit our grassroots website, and by simply typing in your name and address once, you will send a personalized letter to your two Senators and Representative!

Our profession, our industry, and our patients are depending on you. If you have any questions about this communication, please contact Heidi Ecker, NACDS Director of Government Affairs and Political Engagement via email at Hecker@nacds.org or phone at 703/837-4121.
