Pharmacies, PBMs and insurance companies being owned by the same group is all an effect of consolidation.
Source: worked for an independent specialty pharmacy that was purchased by a PBM that in turn merged with a major national insurer
- boublepop 6y agoI mean sure it’s an effect in the sense that when it happens we call it consolidation. My point is that none of the groups owning the insurance companies are buying up the pharmaceutical companies. And why should they? They are pulling home 2/3 of the profits of the price hiking campaigns they are driving and go about blaming it all on the companies who’s day-to-day is focused all about how we can make these drug cheaper, yet that never reaches the consumer.
