On March 14, 2024, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID) were cheered on at a Capitol Hill press conference by pharmacists and pharmacy leaders from across the nation as the Senators committed to continuing to push for swift enactment of bipartisan PBM reforms.

Pharmacies. The face of neighborhood healthcare.

Medication Resource

79% of registered voters say pharmacists are credible information sources on opportunities to save money.

Nine-in-ten Americans live within five miles of a pharmacy, and patients trust the care and advice that pharmacists provide.
