With Americans drowning from healthcare costs associated with the failing Obamacare law, could taxpayers look forward to saving a few dollars by cutting out the middle man when it comes to purchasing prescription drugs?
In today’s soupy world of healthcare, there is one acronym that can unnecessarily cost patients more money: Pharmacy Benefits Managers or PBMs.These middlemen can end up costing patients more money for prescriptions than expected.
By restricting pharmacy networks, these PBMs are effectively restricting patient choice and the ability for free markets to set prices.
