Here’s our story
nytimes.com
The biggest pharmacy benefit managers are profiting by systematically underpaying independent drugstores, creating “pharmacy deserts” across the country.
ICYMI: @RebeccaDRobbins and I talked to dozens of pharmacists around the country about why so many small drugstores are closing. The pharmacists blame powerful companies for paying them so little that many of their stores just can’t survive.

We visited one community in Pennsylvania that no longer has a health care professional in the community. People used to ask the long-time pharmacist for medical advice.

New: @ReedAbelson and I spent months reporting on a phenomenon that’s affecting communities around the country: the big pharmacy benefit managers are paying many local drugstores too little for them to cover their costs, driving many out of business.

Much thanks to @ReedAbelson for the foresight of writing the article about VP Harris in 2020... and the issue of health care prices and health care consolidation has only gotten more urgent...

Great work on this big, thorough and important investigation into the opaque world of #PBMs. It's a must read from @RebeccaDRobbins and @ReedAbelson at the @nytimes.
For the past year, @ReedAbelson and I have been reporting on the big pharmacy benefit managers. In a story published today, we tried to clearly explain what these companies do — and how they affect how much everyone spends on prescription drugs.
