How is this going to help anyone but the state…..?


The bill will require pharmacy benefit managers to pay the pharmacies for the actual cost of the medication plus a dispensing fee. I work at an independent pharmacy so this will affect us…


Exactly, this is NOT a tax and is much needed reform of the PBMs.
