What's your fondest memory of a local pharmacy. 💭 For many, it's the warmth and personalized care. But as PBMs grow, these memories fade into history. Share your story and why we should fight for independent pharmacies. 💌 #MyPharmacyStory #CommunityCare.

If you wonder why prescription costs are going up….. look no further than your insurance plan provider. Does it say ESI or Express Scripts on your card? They have become the biggest insurance provider and are not only charging companies that use them, employees that use them and now the end providers have to pay if we choose to accept them. Ask your employer to change insurance companies.

Great post by @Anothy V. Minniti This is the sad, but expected result of the PBM-Chain drug store cartel. They joined forces to impose unsustainable reimbursements & drive independent pharmacies out of business. When it's no longer profitable? They simply walk away from the mess they created. Unfortunately, there are few indies remaining & even fewer pharmacists willing to endure the financial risk of opening their own practice, causing those who need care the most to suffer. In the 70s-90s, when the State administered the Medicaid prescription drug benefit? Independent pharmacies flourished because of fair reimbursement rates, service based competition, & unfettered access to patients (there is no mail order in State administered Fee For Service). In the late 90's, when private insurers took over, it was the beginning of the end. And the end is has finally arrived. There is a solution; Return the Medicaid drug benefit back to State control. Pharmacy is a business & businesses need incentives. If a pharmacist can own a practice where the threat of predatory PBM-Chain Cartel tactics are minimized? Hopefully we see a return to a time (not so long ago) where every neighborhood had their own pharmacy/pharmacies. In New Jersey, #independentpharmacy is working toward this goal. SaveNJRx was created to promote a return to a time when owning a pharmacy in underserved urban/rural communities was not just personally rewarding, it was financially attractive. Eliminating PBMs & investing the savings in local small business (vs. lining PBM's pockets) is a great first start. To all my New Jersey #pharmacists colleagues? PLEASE support SaveNJRx so we can end this failed PBM experiment! https://lnkd.in/eAqSZ5s7
