Spearheaded by local pharmacist Will Anderson, the bill bans spread pricing and forces PBMs to pay pharmacies based on actual drug costs plus a fair dispensing fee. It also stops PBMs from favoring their own pharmacies over independents. While it’s causing immediate revenue drops—Anderson’s pharmacy saw an 11% hit—it’s expected to save millions statewide and create long-term transparency. The goal? A fairer, more predictable healthcare system where everyone can see the real cost, even if it means short-term pain for some.
