pharmacy benefit managers stories
Congress
At a Senate hearing, Britt questioned how pharmacy benefit managers contribute to rural pharmacy closures and limit access to healthcare in communities like Alabama.
Governor
The Community Pharmacy Relief Act was signed into law by Gov. Kay Ivey on April 15, 2025.

Legislature
The House passed SB252 to support independent pharmacies by limiting pharmacy benefit manager power.
Opinion
The proposed changes to PBMs will place an unnecessary financial strain on Alabama’s businesses and families.
Health
A new Senate bill would prohibit PBMs from negative reimbursements and make other changes to protect independent pharmacies.
National
The legislation comes as independent pharmacies across the state continue to close.
News
“The root of the problem … is not here. The root of the problem is in Washington,” McWhorter told legislators.
Legislature
Two bills seek to limit costs and protect independent pharmacies by capping prescription prices and guaranteeing reimbursement rates.
