The Secret Prices

Posted on by marciarillegmailcom

A.J. Loiacono, CEO of Capital Rx, speaks truth about U.S. drug pricing:

“But you get to the last hop in the supply chain and something magical happens. All the prices in the United States disappear, not because the prices don’t exist, but because the entity that controls the last hop in the supply chain — carriers and PBMs — wish it to be so.”

Who will test the proposition whether prescription drugs should be bought and sold like popsicles, or whether the consumer benefits from all this secrecy in pricing?
