Description

New laws targeting pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) may be missing the real problem: despite Virginia’s 25+ PBM-focused laws since 2015, drug costs rose from $1,400 to $1,500 per person. PBMs actually help save Americans $1,100 annually by negotiating discounts — so maybe it’s time to look elsewhere: electronic prescribing, drug wholesalers, or direct-to-consumer ads could offer better solutions.
