From the outside, our business is thriving. More patients. More prescriptions. More people trusting their local pharmacy with their care. And yet this pharmacy owner describes sitting alone after closing, looking at the bank account and wondering whether there would be enough money to pay the upcoming drug bill. That moment says so much about what independent pharmacies are facing. A pharmacy can be busy and growing while still struggling financially. When reimbursement does not adequately cover what it costs to purchase and safely dispense medications, filling more prescriptions does not always solve the problem. Sometimes it adds to it. Behind every local pharmacy are real people trying to keep the doors open for their patients, employees, and community. And when those doors close, patients lose more than another place to pick up a prescription. They can lose a trusted healthcare relationship and convenient access to care. No pharmacy owner serving a growing number of patients should have to wonder whether success will still end in closure. This is why fair reimbursement matters. What do you think? 👇 How would your community be affected if its independent pharmacies disappeared? @SenKatieBritt @SenTuberville @RepTerriSewell @USRepGaryPalmer @RepBarryMoore @RepSCFigures @RepMikeRogersAL @Robert_Aderholt @RepDaleStrong @_Apci @TruthRx @COMMPHARMACY #PBMReform #CommunityPharmacy #IndependentPharmacy #FairReimbursement #HealthcareAccess #PatientsFirst #SupportLocalPharmacy
