This article mainly refers to Rite Aid Pharmacies, which aren't really in the Midwest. Primarily due to low insurance reimbursement, Rite Aid is going out of business and closing all of its stores. The prescription files of Rite Aid have been sold to various chain pharmacies in different regions. From what we have heard, it sounds like most of these pharmacies are expecting big increases in prescription counts (some as high as 40-50%) without hiring extra staff to handle it. Using some of these understaffed pharmacies is already dangerous and it's only going to get worse. If you have any family or friends who live in an area where a Rite Aid is closing, please tell them to carefully choose which pharmacy they use!

From efforts to turnaround business to a bankruptcy filing, hundreds of pharmacies have or are expected to close this year. Even if your pharmacy is staying open, you could feel the impacts.

Indian ginseng has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years because it was believed to promote longevity, youthfulness, and mental clarity. Many warriors took it before and after their battles because they believed it would sharpen their minds and restore their strength.

Yesterday, it was announced that Rite Aid, one of the largest pharmacy chains in the US, would be filing for bankruptcy for a second time (the first time was in 2023), and effectively going out of business. Over the last couple of years, we've seen the media pick up on the story that independent pharmacies are being driven out of business by unfairly low payments from prescription insurance companies. But the truth is that it’s NOT just independents. Independent pharmacies may get the publicity (they are willing to talk to the media and everyone loves to root for the small guy), but the abuses of Pharmacy Benefit Managers are truthfully affecting nearly every pharmacy out there.

Corporate chain pharmacies have been closing stores left and right across the country, and the stores that are still open are often staffed so thinly that it leads to long waits and much higher rates of medical errors. If you look at the top four pharmacies in the US, you’ll see that three of them are actually INSURANCE COMPANIES. These three companies are also the top three Pharmacy Benefit Managers (prescription insurance companies) in the country and process around 80% of US prescriptions.

The only pharmacy in the top four that’s not owned by an insurance company is Walgreens. In March, Walgreens was sold to a private equity firm. According to a 2018 article by the Wall Street Journal, this private equity firm’s strategy is to buy struggling retailers and sell off their most valuable pieces. Next, it cuts costs on the leftover pieces to extract money, often forcing the remains into bankruptcy.

Rite Aid’s disappearance is exactly what these giant insurance companies want, and it sounds like there’s a strong possibility that Walgreens could be next. Our country desperately needs Congress to pass laws reining in Pharmacy Benefit Managers while we still have pharmacies left that aren’t owned by insurance companies.
