Pine Hill Pharmacy

Three PBM middlemen control about 85% of the prescription market, driving up drug costs and squeezing local pharmacies. Our fellow pharmacists at the Giroux Family of Pharmacies explain it well in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cPOSw8LAMk

New York's Patient Access to Pharmacy Act (PAPA, A5882/S5939) has passed the Legislature. Please ask Governor Hochul to sign it: governor.ny.gov/contact

Sadly, another independent pharmacy will soon be closing its doors. Governor Kathy Hochul could sign the PAPA bill, which passed the Assembly unanimously, to help slow these closures. Unfortunately, it’s sitting on her desk for weeks now unsigned!

Thank you Assemblyman Will Barclay (left), John Lemondes For Assembly (center), NYS Senator Rachel May (right) for getting our "PAPA" bill over the finish line Friday! It was a bit of a roller coaster and came down a little too close to the wire but also with the help of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York - PSSNY we got it done.

While there is still more work to do, this bill will help stabilize reimbursement to all pharmacies in NY. Pharmacies have to make the choice whether or not to fill far too many prescriptions at a loss than they should. As a result there have been a significant number of unnecessary store closures due to the actions of PBMs. These 3 legislators are on the side of their constituents in maintaining access to local close to home healthcare services their pharmacies provide.

We still need Kathy Hochul to sign the bill but this was a major hurdle in the process that has us breathing a little easier now.

A decent analogy but many of those businesses have already been run out of business through other shadow entities forcing prices to a level not sustainable which is and will continue to occur in pharmacy unless there is an "intervention" of some sort that prevents these practices to happen.
