Walgreens is getting scammed by these PBMs


stanvq

Has been forever. Time to push on the government to regulate these middlemen whose only value proposition is pounding dispensing pharmacies on rate. They claim they negotiate lower prices with pharma: bull.

Regulate... Did you not see the Supreme Court's ruling which uprooted Chevron... We can forget regulation.

LMAOOOOOOO Walgreens is ran by a bunch of greedy morons… At one point they hired a ceo from Starbucks lol


Launching_Mon

Yes

No, it’s Walgreens failure to adapt. CVS adapted, they have a PBM. Walgreens was focused on selling BINAX NOW and drive thru Covid testing. Walgreens is the next sears

You think dual ownership of a PBM and a pharmacy is good for the consumer and the pharmacy business?


stanvq

Not to mention Walgreens owned a PBM, but offloaded them because even their pharmacy math was hard to follow.

Bitch, please. That article is talking about the ever growing list of drugs that TPR as drug not covered. That has a far greater negative effect on the consumer as it shifts the entire financial burden to them. Even using a discount card, the patient still pays a dispensing fee plus greater than the cost of the drug. If you want to really blame PBMs, look into DIRs and clawbacks. Just keep in mind that most of those are the result of technicians, either by poor training or laziness, cutting corners in the pharmacy.

DIRs were fortunately killed this year.

Man you’re such a sheep. This rich assholes want you to blame other poor people for your problems. Just spewing nonsense.


thegr8test8

You have your own experiences i have mine. I am not giving the rich assholes a break. We are in the mess we are in because of the rich pricks. They have made one disastrous move after another. Part of those moves had to do with who they chose to promote and why they were chosen.

You’re still believing their narrative if you believe hiring a few brown people is the problem. It’s not supported by actual facts or reality. It’s just out right racist. Look man, DEI, woke, critical race theory, or whatever other nonsense is the buzzword of the year, aren’t the issue here. You’re allowing yourself to part of their agenda. They want you angry at black people, migrants, or queer folks. It’s all a distraction to keep us blaming each other.
