Column from former pharmacist, state Sen. Dave Burke who now leads Ohio Pharmacists Association: PBMs drive drugs cost up, run Ohio pharmacies out of business. Upcoming hearing opportunity for Sen. Sherrod Brown to get answers. dispatch.com/story/opinion/…
Great article. This last segment sums it up nicely: “No one is coming to save you. If you think somebody needs to do something, it’s you” Keep posting. Keep sharing ideas. Keep challenging anyone who thinks community pharmacies aren’t vital to healthcare.

For those who got the @Drug_Topics spam about how 'inventory management can boost profits'. No. Smart inventory management improve your cash flow, not your profits. That $100 bottle of insulin will still come back under-cost no matter how well your inventory is.
@HokiePharmacist @Brushworx48 @TruthRX @FTC @RKSlaughterFTC @BedoyaFTC I chose a local pharmacy this year. My prices are significantly lower. My insurance keeps sending me letters to use a pharmacy in their network which is an hour away and more expensive. Nope.

Due to reduced reimbursement by pbms, the average pharmacy has lost 30% of gross margin in the transition from 2023 to 2024 serving the same patients. Pharmacies can't cut that much expense to see their way to break even. Meanwhile pbm profits are skyrocketing. See the problem

My boss worked as a pharmacist into his 70s His 2 sons worked for him one a pharmacist one a manager. That pharmacy was a small operation that fed 3 families plus employees. That was 40 years ago before #PBMs Probably just a coincidence.
Corporations made almost $3 TRILLION IN PROFITS last year, why the fuck aren't people pissed at corporations? If you want to bitch about inflation, why not bitch at the GREEDY corporations responsible for those prices??

People seem to be confused. When workers are paid less than a living wage, they’re forced to rely on taxpayer funded social safety nets to survive. That’s not a taxpayer “handout” to workers. That’s a taxpayer handout to corporations.
Walmart - fucking Walmart - couldn’t figure it out with midlevels running clinics from a cost perspective and “challenging reimbursement” but we want primary care physicians to do in practice and not be swallowed by soul sucking health systems? K.
Walmart will close all of its health care clinics “its health care push was not profitable for the company because of the “challenging reimbursement environment and escalating operating costs.” cnn.com/2024/04/30/bus…
@SenSanders @linakhanFTC It’s high in the US because we have PBMs and they cause the price to go up so they can get their cut! And it’s a really BIG cut! The system is not built for affordability-it’s built for profitability of PBMs. They likely make more than Novo does on a prescription.

Maybe we should turn this back into a service based industry and actually get paid for the cost of the drug plus the service provided.
Walmart Health primary care is done. The company announced they’re closing 51 health clinics in AR, FL, GA, IL, and TX over the next 90 days. It’s a sobering reality to watch the biggest retailers struggle with healthcare. Just a year ago, people thought Dollar General,…
Yesterday, literally as part of my work I got to speak to a professional puppeteer (who has worked on Sesame Street) about making an anatomically accurate clitoris puppet and I swear I love my career so much.
So if Walmart can’t make healthcare profitable, maybe we should consider medicine differently than retail? 🤔
