‘To me, that’s fraudulent’: Bipartisan Ohio lawmakers vow to fix loophole exploited by PBMs – By Darrel Rowland (The Columbus Dispatch) / Oct 3 2021
A bipartisan duo of Ohio legislators are outraged that the measure they sponsored more than two years ago to ban a controversial tactic by pharmacy benefit managers might not work as planned.
And they vow to fix the problem that they say hurts pharmacies nationwide.
“We will not simply watch the PBMs destroy the industry as they take unwarranted profits,” said Rep. Scott Lipps, a Republican from near Cincinnati who chairs the House Health Committee.
His Democratic colleague, Rep. Thomas West of Canton, agreed:
“I’m tired of the game, and I just hope we get to the bottom of it and move forward.”
