 EP. 215: I sat down with Brad Hart, owner of Forest Park Pharmacy in Fort Worth, to expose the shocking truth behind pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how they’re driving up drug prices. What I learned about vertical integration in the healthcare system, where insurers own the PBMs and the pharmacies, honestly left me furious. Brad breaks it all down, from Medicare waste to the skyrocketing cost of specialty drugs, and we talk about real solutions like compounding pharmacies and direct-to-consumer options. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered why your medications cost so much—and who’s really profiting. Topics Discussed: → What are pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how do they increase drug prices? → How are health insurance companies profiting from vertical integration in the pharmacy system? → Why are independent and rural pharmacies struggling to stay open? → What impact do PBMs have on Medicare spending and prescription drug costs? → How can consumers save money on medications without relying on insurance?
