What kind of pressures are the PBMs putting on these pharmacies? It's horrific. So I mentioned in my testimony that first of all, the Wholesalers buy drugs at the list price and then they sell to the pharmacies at just under the list price. which means those independent pharmacy small businesses are out a lot of money. So for instance, on an eloquent $600 point price, they're out $570 and they need to collect that money back as soon as possible. (02:28–02:36)
