Patients should come before .

That should not be a controversial statement.

This op-ed points to one of the biggest problems in the prescription drug system: PBMs have enormous influence over which medications patients can access, what they pay at the counter and which pharmacies are allowed to serve them.

For independent pharmacies, this is not an abstract policy issue. PBM decisions can determine whether patients can continue using the local pharmacy they know and trust, or whether they are pushed somewhere else by a benefit design they did not choose.

A more accountable system should protect patient choice, preserve access to local pharmacy care and bring real transparency to PBM practices.

Patients deserve better than a system built around middlemen.
