The pharmaceutical industry provides life changing and lifesaving medications. Pharmacy Benefit Managers have become important partners in bringing these branded medications to U.S. employers and patients. Unfortunately, we in the U.S. pay 3-10 times as much as the rest of the world for the very same medications. These inflated prices are impoverishing Americans while straining companies and government. Roswell Rotary Member Alan Greensmith reviews how we got into this situation and shares strategies to help employers get pharmacy costs in control. Please join us at this week's meeting to learn more.
