Massachusetts Independent Pharmacist Association MIPA ASK YOUR PHARMACY FRIENDS TO LIKE US ON FACEBOOK The patient-pharmacist relationship is the value-added benefit for using your community pharmacy.

We hear from many consumers who are tired of long wait times for prescriptions and poor service that typically comes from the larger chain pharmacies. The chain pharmacies also tend to have more frequent change in pharmacy staff, which prohibits the development of a personal relationship. MIPA member pharmacies are dedicated to provide this service.

Thanks Gretchen Carr from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren office for meeting with us on PBM reform.

Andrew Stein, owner of Bird's Hill Pharmacy in Needham, welcomed me to his business for a discussion with fellow pharmacists about independent pharmacy. Pharmacists are medical providers, small business owners, and community cornerstones who have unique insight into healthcare delivery, corporate and government impositions on entrepreneurship, and the needs of their downtowns. I'm one of the most active legislators on pharmacy issues in Congress because I know that the needs of independent pharmacists align with everyone's desire for less frustrating health insurance, lower co-pays on Rx drugs, and thriving small businesses.

My Op-Ed on PBM greed and the need for state and federal legislation.

A lack of oversight and regulation of PBMs has allowed them to act under the radar. They have made the drug distribution channel exceedingly opaque and have directly caused drug prices to rise.
