Arkansas Becomes First State to Ban Pharmacy Benefit Managers from Owning Pharmacies

"This is a huge step for independent pharmacies!"

"I wonder how this will affect drug prices in the long run."

"Is this really the best solution to the problem?"

"CVS is just trying to protect their profits, not patients."

"I'm glad to see some pushback against PBMs!"

"Will other states follow Arkansas' lead?"

"This reminds me of when big corporations fight against regulations."

"Funny how CVS claims to care for patients but opposes this bill."

"I bet there's a meme in here somewhere about PBMs!"

"Do we really trust the government to regulate this industry effectively?"

"Finally, a win for small businesses in healthcare!"
